ÖZ Aim: Present study analyzes kinesiophobia level in FMS patients and investigates the possible relationship between kinesiophobia and pain, disease activity, fatique, physical activity level, functional mobility and core muscle endurance (CME) times.
Materials and Methods: Forty-one female patients were participated in present study. Patients were assessed performing Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for kinesiophobia, a visual analog scale for pain level, the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire for disease activity, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire- Short Form for physical activity (PA) level and Fatigue Severity Scale for fatigue. Core muscle endurance and physical fitness tests were applied. For statistical analysis were performed Spearman correlation coefficients and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: Of the patients, disease duration was 3 (2/10) years and 25 (60.9%) had a high level of kinesiophobia. Significant relationships were detected between kinesiophobia and pain level (p<0.001), PA level, fatique, physical fitness tests and trunk flexor endurance time (p<0.05). However, kinesiophobia were not related to disease activity and other CME tests (p>0.05). Pain (p<0.001), fatique amd PA level, physical fitness tests, CME tests except trunk extensor test differed between high- kinesiophobia and low-kinesiophobia groups (p<0.05). However, disease activity was similar between high- kinesiophobia and low- kinesiophobia groups (>0.05).
Conclusions: Kinesiophobia seems to be associated with pain, PA level, fatigue, trunk flexor endurance and functional mobility. Evaluating kinesiophobia and associated factors in FMS patients may help in creating rehabilitation program.
