Kinesiophobia in Stroke Patients and Affecting Factors

Completed

• Conditions: Stroke Patients; Kinesiophobia
• Interventions: Other: Assessment

• Registration Number: NCT05538468
• Lead Sponsor: Inonu University

Brief Summary

It was aimed to determine the presence of kinesiophobia that will affect the treatment in stroke patients and to investigate the relationship between these factors and kinesiophobia by examining factors such as postural control, depression, pain, and affected side that may cause kinesiophobia.

Detailed Description

Objective: This study was planned to investigate the relationship between depression, postural control, pain, affected side and kinesiophobia in stroke patients. Material and Method: Thirty patients aged between 25-70 years who had a stroke at the earliest 6 months and who Functional Ambulation Scale were level 2 and above according to the were included in the study. Patients were selected by random sampling method from the relevant population. Demographic data were obtained from all subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Patients were evaluated Kinesiophobia scores (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKÖ) and VAS-Kinesiophobia Assessment), depression severity (Beck Depression Inventory), postural control loss (PASS) and pain severity (VAS).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Stroke Patients Group	Assessment	The kinesiophobia scores of the patients were evaluated by (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale) and (Visual Analog Scale- Kinesiophobia Assessment), depression severity (Beck Depression Inventory), postural control (Postural Assessment Scale), pain severity (Visual Analog Scale).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Kinesiophobia Assessment	6 mounts	Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale were used. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) is one of them, and it's commonly used in the literature to assess kinesiophobia. It has 17 questions designed to assess fear of moving.
Pain Assessment	6 mounts	Pain Assessment Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used. On a 10-centimeter (cm) horizontal line, start 0 (no pain) and finish 10 (unbearable pain) are marked and the subjects were asked to place a mark on this horizontal line according to the degree of pain they felt. The point marked on the line was then measured with the help of a ruler and recorded as the VAS value in cm.
Postural Control Assessment	6 mounts	Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) was used. The scale, which consists of 12 items, is grouped at 4 different levels (0-3). It is a 2-part scale that assesses the ability to maintain the posture (5 items) and change it (7 items).
Depression Severity Assessment	6 mounts	Depression Severity Assessment, The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was employed, which consists of 21 questions. The scale has a range of 0 to 84 points.
