The Relationship Pain Beliefs With Kinesiophobia, Catastrophizing, Pain Knowledge, and Shoulder Functional Disability in Individuals With Shoulder Pain

This cross-sectional observational study aims to examine the relationship between psychological and organic pain beliefs and kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, pain knowledge, and shoulder functional disability (SPADI) in individuals with shoulder pain. The study seeks to clarify how pain-related beliefs influence physical and psychological outcomes in musculoskeletal shoulder pain.
