- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) 8 weeks It measures fear of movement and fear of re-injury. It was used to evaluate the development of fear of movement after treatment. A 4-point Likert scoring (1= I strongly disagree, 4= I totally agree) is used in the scale. After reversing items 4, 8, 12 and 16, a total score is calculated. The person gets a total score between 17-68. A high score on the scale indicates that kinesiophobia is also high.
BeCure Balance Evaluation System 8 weeks The BeCure Balance Assessment System protocol used in this study; It was planned to determine the amount of change in the center of gravity in the x and y axes and the position of the body center of gravity during standing balance on the board for 15 seconds with eyes open, with images.
