Mediation Effect of Pain on the Relationship between Kinesiophobia and Postural Control: Comparison and Correlations in Individuals with Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Asymptomatic Individuals—A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Background: Individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) usually present with a fear of movement (kinesiophobia), which causes their symptoms to be maintained and exacerbated. Kinesiophobia can significantly impact postural control; ascertaining their association is crucial in evaluating and managing individuals with FM. This study aims to (1) compare postural control between individuals with FM and asymptomatic individuals, (2) estimate the relationship between kinesiophobia and postural control in individuals… Show more

“…Pain has the ability to influence numerous aspects of the nervous system, including the sensitivity of muscle spindles and the way the central nervous system modulates proprioceptive afferent signals [ 59 ]. Asiri et al [ 37 ] conducted a study investigating the mediation effect of pain on the relationship between kinesiophobia and postural control in fibromyalgia syndrome, and the results demonstrated that pain significantly mediated their relationship to produce altered motor control, hence impacting balancing ability. Similarly in our study, pain may have impacted the relationship between kinesiophobia and LJPS.…”

“…Increased pain is associated with increased proprioceptive errors and decreased balance and functional mobility [ 32 ]. Previous studies have shown that pain is a significant factor that can increase fear of movement and impair motor control [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. However, it is unknown how pain influences kinesiophobia and its relationship with LJPS in CLBP individuals.…”

“…Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". The total score on the TSK provides an indication of an individual's level of kinesiophobia, with higher scores reflecting a greater fear of movement [26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…These modifications can significantly alter the afferent proprioceptive input, hence affecting the joint position sensation and stability limits [21]. Chronic persistent pain might exacerbate FMS patients' fear of movement, hence diminishing their proprioceptive and balance abilities [21]. These findings demonstrate that kinesiophobia may serve as a mediator between cervical JPS and limitations of stability in patients with FMS.…”

“…These altered activation patterns can result in somato-motor-system-related muscular weakening and atrophy [20]. These modifications can significantly alter the afferent proprioceptive input, hence affecting the joint position sensation and stability limits [21]. Chronic persistent pain might exacerbate FMS patients' fear of movement, hence diminishing their proprioceptive and balance abilities [21].…”
