of movement (kinesiophobia) -an underestimated problem in Polish patients at various stages of coronary artery disease. AbstractIntroduction. The importance of the problem of reduced motor activity in the prophylaxis and treatment of many diseases has resulted in numerous adaptations of a diagnostic tool, both for the disease and for linguistic and cultural versions. This also applies to cardiovascular diseases. The significance of the problem, and encouraging results of several studies, have led to a wider use of this tool. This also applies to people suffering cardiologically in Poland, where this problem is poorly understood. This was the inspiration to undertake research on the explanation of the reasons for the limitation in the activation of cardiac patients. Objective. The aim of the study was to determine the level of kinesiophobia in patients with CAD, and to assess its possible association with physical activity (PA), socio-demographic determinants and morbidity. Materials and method. The study was cross-sectional and included 217 hospitalized patients with CAD: 94 women and 123 men; aged 67.39 years. PA was assessed using the short version of IPAQ, and kinesiophobia was assessed using TSK Heart in Polish adaptation. TSK HeartIPAQ correlations were found. Results. More than 70% of the patients revealed high levels of kinesiophobia (TSK>37 points). There were no TSK associations with gender, BMI, socio-demographic variables, other conditions and duration of cardiovascular disease. The disease is the main cause of kinesiophobia and regardless of its nature, negatively affects the level of PA.Conclusions. The quality of life of patients with CAD at various stages and the effectiveness of cardiolog-ical rehabilitation are conditioned by PA.

“…The KCS was characterized with good internal consistency in a few studies. Saulicz et al ( 2016 ) used the KCS to evaluate 105 women of perimenopausal age and verified that KCS had good internal consistency. Cronbach's α of the biological and psychological domain subscale were 0.79 and 0.77, respectively.…”

The prevalence of fear of movement (kinesiophobia) in persistent pain ranges from 50 to 70%, and it may hinder the subsequent rehabilitation interventions. Therefore, the evaluation of fear of movement/(re)injury plays a crucial role in making clinical treatment decisions conducive to the promotion of rehabilitation and prognosis. In the decision-making process of pain treatment, the assessment of fear of movement/(re)injury is mainly completed by scale/questionnaire. Scale/questionnaire is the most widely used instrument for measuring fear of movement/(re)injury in the decision-making process of pain treatment. At present, the most commonly used scale/questionnaire are the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), the Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS), the Athlete Fear-Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ), and the Fear-Avoidance Components Scale (FACS). In order to provide necessary tools and references for related research and rehabilitation treatment, this descriptive review is designed as an introduction to the background and content, score system, available language versions, variants of the original questionnaire, and psychometric properties of these scales/questionnaries.

Kinesiophobia (fear of pain due to movement) is defined as excessive and illogical fear of physical movement for avoiding harm or suffering any injury again. Its prevalence in choric pain is within the range 50-70%. In old-aged persons the most important risk factor for kinesiophobia is chronic pain deriving from problems related to musculoskeletal system. Fragility, Parkinson disease, early and middle stage dementia and neuropathic pain are also associated with kinesiophobia in oldage persons. In this age group kinesiophobia is an important determinant of mobility and balance and associated with muscular weakness, reduced functional capacity, disability and deterioration in life quality. Avoidance of activity due to fear of falling is also an important factor increasing sedentary behaviour in elderly persons. Kinesiophobia is usually evaluated by Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. Prevention of kinesiophobia is important in ensuring healthy life among old-age individuals. Mobility is critical for these people in maintaining their independence and, as a matter of fact, the rates of mortality and morbidity are higher among old-age people with reduced mobility. Regular physical activity and fitness exercises may prevent kinesiophobia while therapeutic exercises and cognitive behavioural therapy are included during treatment. Kinesiophobia is defined as an important dimension of enduring pain. Hence, the assessment of kinesiophobia in daily medical practices will guide clinicians in their approach to elderly patients.
