Kinesiophobia Scale for the Upper Extremity

Questionnaires/scales used to evaluate kinesiophobia in the literature are limited and are not specific to the upper extremity in existing scales. For this reason, the primary purpose and subject of the study is to develop a multi-factor kinesiophobia scale specific to shoulder problems.

The study is an observational research. Participants will be interviewed twice in total. All primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed at the first meeting. The second come will be performed within 5-7 days after the first assessment. In the second come, only the new kinesiophobia scale that is intended to be developed will be applied.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Multidimensional Kinesiophobia Scale (To be developed)

    Time frame: Baseline of the study

    It is desired to be developed to evaluate the fear of movement that occurs due to upper extremity injuries.

  2. Multidimensional Kinesiophobia Scale (To be developed)

    Time frame: 5-7 days after baseline assessment

    It is desired to be developed to evaluate the fear of movement that occurs due to upper extremity injuries.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual Analog Scale

    Time frame: Baseline of the study

    Assesses pain severity. It scores between 0-10 points. A high score indicates high pain intensity.

  2. Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale

    Time frame: Baseline of the study

    It consists of 17 items. Assesses the fear of movement. Total score is 68 points. A high score indicates high fear.

  3. Demographic Data Form

    Time frame: Baseline of the study
