Brief Summary

Kinesiophobia after total knee arthroplasty is an important parameter affecting recovery. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and the factors it may cause is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after total knee arthroplasty.

Conditions

Knee Osteoarthritis; Kinesiophobia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Kinesiophobia

  Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to measure the level of fear of movement and re-injury. In this scale, a score ranges from 17 to 68, and an increase in the score means an increase in kinesiophobia. A score of 39.5 and above indicates the presence of high kinesiophobia.

  Baseline

• Severity of pain

  Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate individuals' level of knee pain. A value of 0 indicates no pain, a value of 10 indicates very high pain.

  Baseline

• Functional mobility

  'Timed Up and Go Test' will be used to evaluate the mobility and functions of the patients.

  Baseline

• Proprioception

  Patients' knee joint proprioception sense will be measured with the 'Knee Joint Position Sense Test'. The angle of deviation from the target angle will be determined.

  Baseline

• Fear of falling

  While performing daily living activities, self-confidence and fear of falling will be evaluated with The Falls Efficacy Scale-International. A score between 16-65 is taken and as the total score increases, the probability of falling increases.

  Baseline

Study Arms (2)

Higher Kinesiophobia

It is a group with a high level of kinesiophobia according to the "Tampa kinesiophobia scale".

Lower Kinesiophobia

It is a group with a low level of kinesiophobia according to the "Tampa kinesiophobia scale".

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 80 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

Study Population

Individuals who have undergone total knee arthroplasty surgery will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into two groups, high and low kinesiophobia levels, according to the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale.
