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.

Conditions

Kinesiophobia; Stroke Patients

Keywords

Kinesiophobia; stroke patients; Pain; Postural control; Depression

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Kinesiophobia Assessment

  VAS Kinesiophobia Assessment were used. The Visual Analog Scale was used as the second method in the assessment of kinesiophobia. A scale is drawn on a 10-centimeter (cm) horizontal line to show the start as 0 (no fear of movement) and the end as 100 (violent fear of movement). They were asked to stand up just before starting the exercise and to mark the severity of the fear of movement they felt at that moment on the scale.

• Kinesiophobia Assessment

  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.

  6 mounts

• Pain Assessment

  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.

  6 mounts

• Postural Control Assessment

  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).

  6 mounts

• Depression Severity Assessment

  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.

Study Arms (1)

Stroke Patients Group

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).

Other: Assessment

Interventions

Assessment OTHER

Thirty stroke patients were included in the study. After the demographic information was obtained from all patients who accepted to participate in the study by complying with the inclusion criteria; The kinesiophobia scores of the patients were evaluated, depression severity, postural control and pain severity.
