Abstract
Kinesiophobia is a debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from feeling of vulnerability to painful re-injury. Fear of worsening the pain on exercising leads to incomplete functional recovery. This relatively new documented disorder needs to be addressed as a priority for better postoperative outcomes.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 120 (60 unilateral and 60 bilateral)knee arthroplasty patients in their 1-3 weeks of rehabilitative phase. Tampa scale of kinesiophobia was used to assess the occurrence of kinesiophobia in these subjects. A comparison between unilateral and bilateral scores were made.
Results: According to this study56.67% had kinesiophobia while 52 i.e 44.20% did not. 16 belonged to the group of high rate of kinesiophobia while 52 had low rate for the same. 22.50% bilateral cases had occurrence of kinesiophobia while 34.10.20% unilateral cases had kinesiophobia.
Conclusion: This study shows that a high degree of post-operative fear of movement occurred in most patients after total knee arthroplasty. The results were found higher in unilateral than the bilateral cases.
Keywords: Kinesiophobia, Tampa Scale, specific rehabilitative protocols.
