“…Some evidence support the ideas that kinesiophobia could interfere with physical capacity measurements [16,21,22] and that professional exercise supervision and kinesiophobia management might have a positive effect in exercise adherence in chronic pain conditions [23]. The present case participant led us to hypothesize that this could also be the case in older cancer patients.…”

“…Associations have been found between kinesiophobia measured with the Tampa scale and physical capacity tests assessing gait speed and dynamic balance. In older women with chronic musculoskeletal pain, an association was found between the Tampa scale score and the result for the Timed up-and-go test (almost identical to the 8FUG test) [16,21].…”

Background: Kinesiophobia, the fear that movement and physical activity could worsen side effects such as fatigue and pain, is a barrier to exercise in cancer patients. Physical inactivity and deconditioning can lead to functional decline, higher mortality risk and lower quality of life, in older adults, and even more in oncogeriatrics because of a lower physical activity level during cancer treatments.The case: We present the case of an older breast cancer patient recruited in a controlled exercise trial and randomized to the control arm of the study (a 12-week supervised static stretching program). She expressed fear that physical activity might exacerbate some of her cancer-related symptoms during baseline physical capacity assessment (Senior Fitness Test, handgrip strength and maximal lower body strength). After completing the 12-week supervised static stretching program, she exhibited similar and/or larger improvements in many of the physical capacity tests than the mixed exercise intervention group, despite being in the control arm. Conclusions: These observations and physical capacity results have led us to emit the hypothesis that (1) this participant's baseline physical capacity assessment might have been biased by kinesiophobia and (2) the supervision by exercise physiologist might have mitigated this fear over time. Hence, based on this case, we suggest that kinesiophobia should be measured in future exercise trials and clinical interventions targeting older cancer patients.

“…Ishak, et al concluded that kinesiophobia predicted mobility and balance in older persons with low back pain. Kinesiophobia should be continuously assessed in clinical settings to recognize the obstacles that may affect patient's compliance towards a rehabilitation program in low back pain [30]. Osumi, et al also found evidence of a particular lumbar movement pattern associated with kinesiophobia.…”

Background: This study aims to compare the effectiveness between aquatic exercise interventions and land-based exercises in the treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain. Methods: Thirty patients were randomly allocated to land exercise (n=15) and aquatherapy group (n=15). Both groups underwent Hot pack, conventional TENS, and continuous ultrasound. A water-based exercise program was conducted in the aquatherapy group for 15 patients in an indoor swimming pool. The land-based exercise program included abdominal and back strengthening exercises. All assessments were done before and after the treatments (4 th week). The pain and functional status of patients were evaluated. Results: There were no statistically signifi cant differences in the demographic features between groups. The pre and post-therapy differences between groups showed no significant results between groups in VAS, MODI, TAMPA, and the standardized SF-36 (p>0.05). There was a significant improvement in SF-36 role-emotional score in the land exercises group compared to aquatic exercises (p ≤ 0.05). The pre and post-therapy differences within groups showed a significant decrease in VAS score in aquatic exercises group (p<0.05), a similar observation was noted in the land exercises group too (p<0.05). There was also a significant decrease in ODI, TAMPA, and the physical functioning component of SF-36 in land exercises group. Conclusions: The findings from this study show similar benefit of aquatic exercises and land exercises on pain, disability, health related quality of life and kinesiophobia in chronic low back pain, even land exercises has significant effect in emotional role domain of health-related quality of life.

“…They fear to induce pain by moving and develop fear avoidance behavior (kinesiophobia). Hence these patients are caught in a vicious circle: Movement avoidance leads to loss of muscular abilities, that in turn favors pain, and pain again leads to the avoidance of physical activity [ 12 – 14 ].…”

Background According to present guidelines, active exercise is one key component in the comprehensive treatment of nonspecific chronic back pain (NSCBP). Whole body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a safe, and time-effective training method, that may be effective in NSCBP-patients. Methods In this prospective and controlled nonrandomized clinical study, two therapeutic approaches were compared. One group received 20 minutes WB-EMS per week. An active control group (ACG) received a multimodal therapy program. A third group included subjects without back pain. To all groups, the following measurement instruments were applied: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), North American Spine Society Instrument (NASS); SF 36 survey and measurements for muscular function and postural stability.
