“…Although a direct comparison is not appropriate due to the different characteristics of the adopted study populations, the Cronbach's alpha coefficients obtained in this study are higher, relative to results obtained from [25], Chinese (TSK-17; α = 0.67 in chronic pain) [26], Brazilian/Portuguese (TSK-17; α = 0.82 in acute/subacute and chronic LBP) [27], German (TSK-11; α = 0.73 in LBP) [12], Swedish (TSK-11; α = 0.74-0.87 in chronic pain) [28], and Dutch (TSK-11; α = 0.68-0.80 in acute and chronic LBP) [8] versions.…”

“…Mielenz et al (25) also reported problems with item 13 in a study of OA and concluded that item 13 had little in common with other TSK items. Item 17 has exhibited low factor loadings in prior studies (21, 24, 45–47), and was among the more poorly performing items in an analysis conducted by Mielenz et al (25).…”

Objective Fear of movement has important clinical implications for individuals with osteoarthritis. This study aimed to establish a brief fear of movement scale for use in osteoarthritis. Items from the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) were examined. Methods The English version of the TSK was examined in a community-based sample (N=1,136) of individuals with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to determine the number and content of the dimensions of fear of movement. Factorial invariance was tested across subgroups of gender, race, education, and osteoarthritis severity. Convergent validity with measures of pain, physical functioning, and psychological functioning was examined. Results Factor analyses identified a single factor 6-item scale that measures activity avoidance due to pain-related fear of movement (confirmatory factor analysis indices of model fit: RMSEA=.04; SRMR=.01; CFI=.99; TLI=.99). The 6-item scale demonstrated factorial invariance across gender, race, levels of education, and osteoarthritis severity suggesting that this scale performs consistently across diverse groups of individuals with osteoarthritis. Convergent validity with measures of pain (β=.30 to .41), physical functioning (β=.44 to .48), and psychological functioning (β=.36 to .37) was also demonstrated. Conclusion The brief fear of movement scale identified in this study provides a promising and valid approach for assessing fear of movement in individuals with osteoarthritis. This brief scale demonstrated several important strengths including a small number of items, sound psychometric properties, and consistent performance across diverse groups of individuals with osteoarthritis.

“…After adjustment, this model fitted the data obtained from this sample, which suggests that kinesiophobia can be thoroughly described in PD as a process with two cognitive-behavioural components. Albeit with slight differences in subscale composition, three other studies involving patients with chronic complaints have also confirmed the two-factorial structure Roelofs et al, 2007;Wong et al, 2010).…”

The aim of this study was to validate the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Parkinson's disease (TSK-PD). This was a cross-sectional evaluation of the psychometric properties of an adapted questionnaire. The psychometric testing included confirmatory factor analysis, reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient), construct validity by comparing TSK-PD with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS) and the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) (Pearson's correlations), and sensitivity to change by calculating the smallest detectable change. The questionnaire was administered to 132 patients with Parkinson's disease. Factor analysis confirmed a two-factor (harm and activity avoidance), 13-item solution, which led to an acceptable data-model fit. Internal consistency (α=0.94) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, model 2.1=0.90) were good. Construct validity showed a close correlation between the TSK-PD and FES-I (r=-0.710); a moderate correlation with the MDS-UPDRS (r=0.513); moderate to close correlations with HADS-D (r=0.443) and HADS-A (r=0.626); moderate correlations with the mental subscales of the SF-36 (r=-0.327 to -0.563); and poor correlations with the physical subscales of the SF-36 (r=-0.236 to -0.248). The smallest detectable change was 11. The TSK-PD had a good factorial structure and satisfactory psychometric properties. Its use is recommended for clinical and research purposes.

Fear of movement/(re)injury in Chinese patients with chronic pain: Factorial validity of the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia

Abstract: The TSK appears to have utility in Chinese chronic pain populations. Elucidation of the TSK's psychometrics properties in other Chinese/Asian pain populations with different diagnoses and presentations of pain problems is warranted.
