“…Third, the PFActS-C permits assessments to be made of the extent to which specific kinds of biomechanical loads -such as direction of neck movement and position of arms -influence participants' fear ratings. The only other fear of movement instrument to use of pictorial stimuli is the Photograph Series of Daily Activities (PHODA [17,20]; however the pictures used do not vary mechanical loads in a systematic way and involve potential stresses on multiple musculoskeletal structures. The objectives of the present study were to describe the development of the PFActS-C and provide initial evidence for its validity and reliability.…”

The fear avoidance model (FAM) postulates that fear of pain or reinjury is a risk factor for persistent pain and disability, because it leads to avoidance of physical activity. Research on the FAM has not yielded consistent results, which may be attributed to the model itself, but could also be a product of the way fear of movement is assessed. Studies of the FAM have measured fear using verbal scales consisting of items that are often vague and have only an indirect relationship with fear. This study reports on the development of a Pictorial Fear of Activity Scale -Cervical (PFActS-C). The instrument consists of a set of photographs depicting movements in which 4 factors that determine biomechanical demands on the neck are systematically varied -Direction of Movement, Arm Position, Weight Bearing, and Extremity of Movement. Patients (n = 355) who had been involved in motor vehicle collisions with minimal symptoms (n = 143) and moderate to severe symptoms (n = 212) rated their fear of engaging in a set of activities depicted in the PFActS-C. Based on a principle components analysis, a 19-item measure was developed. Internal consistency (alpha = .98), stability over time (n = 44, IntraClass Correlation = .72), and construct validity were all good to excellent. The results indicate that the PFActS-C may be a useful tool for assessing fear of movement in patients with cervical pain. Research is needed to confirm the factor structure of the PFActS-C and to assess the generalizability of the results to other samples with neck pain.

“…This process is a modification of a previously reported method using photographs to select highly rated fear activities for inclusion in graded exposure treatment. 30 This modification was necessary because use of photographs was considered too time consuming for the clinical environment in which most physical therapists practice. It is important to note that while the FDAQ is utilized in our clinical setting for purposes of determining fear of activities, its psychometric properties have not been reported in the peer-review literature.…”

sychological factors are commonly used to explain the development and maintenance of chronic low back pain (LBP). 38,39 In fact, individual studies suggest that psychological factors are stronger than physical and demographic factors for predicting LBP outcomes. 8,20 This clinical commentary focuses on the fear-avoidance model of musculoskeletal pain (FAM), which was reviewed by 29 Briefly, the FAM proposes that the primary affective and cognitive components influencing pain perception are anxiety, pain-related fear (including fear of movement and reinjury), physical (limitations in physical performance and disuse syndrome), and societal (chronic disability) consequences. 6,27,32,48 The FAM was selected as the focus of this manuscript, because the model appears to have clinical relevance for patients with LBP. Specifically, previous studies suggest that questionnaires based on the FAM accurately identify poor prognosis for patients with LBP.

“…Within the context of rehabilitation and therapy several instruments and tools were identified that can assist caregivers to determine patient needs and related therapy aims. Examples are the Photograph series of Daily Activities (PHODA), 17,18 Activity Card Sort (ACS), 19 Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), 20 Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), 21 the Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), 22 and the Talking Mats. 23 However, these existing tools are often not suitable for use with long-term residents as they focus on the client's functioning in his/her own environment after discharge or are too difficult for this vulnerable group in which communication problems are highly prevalent.…”
