“…In our study, higher QoL was also associated with less kinesiophobia. This finding is consistent with studies of kinesiophobia, chronic musculoskeletal pain,49 musculoskeletal injury,50 and rheumatoid arthritis 51. In addition, Can et al26 found that women with BrCA who had greater kinesiophobia reported lower QoL scores on the Short Form-36 Quality Physical Component Summary.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with body image, kinesiophobia, pain severity, and pain interference in women following breast cancer (BrCA) treatment. Methods: A convenience sample of women (n = 160) post-BrCA treatment participated in this cross-sectional study. They completed demographic and clinical questionnaires and performed left/right judgment tasks (LRJTs). Regression analyses evaluated factors associated with the Body Image Scale, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) pain severity subscale, and BPI pain interference subscale. Results: Higher quality of life (QoL) and older age were associated with better body image, while mastectomy and greater kinesiophobia were associated with worse body image. Higher QoL, better body image, more exercise time (minutes/week), and mastectomy were associated with less fear of movement. Slower chest LRJT response time, higher pain interference, and reconstructive surgery were associated with greater kinesiophobia. Higher QoL was associated with lower pain severity, while more exercise time was associated with higher pain severity. Higher QoL and slower chest LRJT response time were associated with lower pain interference. More exercise time and greater kinesiophobia were associated with greater pain interference. Conclusion: Poor body image and kinesiophobia are common in women after unilateral BrCA treatment. This study provides evidence on positive and negative associations between several factors associated with body image, fear of movement, pain severity, and pain interference in women following BrCA treatment. There is benefit to including assessment of these predictors and outcomes in research and clinical settings.

“…In another study examining the relationship between QoL and kinesiophobia in 88 patients with RA and 93 healthy volunteers, kinesiophobia was found to be significantly higher in the RA group compared to the control group, and fatigue scores were stated to be one of the independent variables affecting kinesiophobia. [ 31 ] In other studies conducted with patients with RA, Lööf et al[ 15 ] and Kınıklı et al[ 32 ] demonstrated that high pain levels were associated with an increased risk of high fear-avoidance behavior or kinesiophobia. In our study, no relationship was found between pain and kinesiophobia in patients with RA in remission, which may have been due to the low pain scores of the patients.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to compare kinesiophobia, fatigue, physical activity, and quality of life (QoL) between the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in remission and a healthy population. Patients and methods: The prospective controlled study included 45 female patients (mean age: 54.22±8.2 year; range, 37 to 67 year) with a diagnosis of RA determined to be in remission according to the Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints (DAS28) being ≤2.6 between January 2022 and February 2022. As a control group, 45 female healthy volunteers (mean age: 52.2±8.2 year; range, 34 to 70 year) of similar age were evaluated. The QoL, disease activity, pain, kinesiophobia, fatigue severity, and physical activity were assessed using the Health Assessment Questionnaire, DAS28, Visual Analog Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, Fatigue Severity Scale, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, respectively. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in demographic data. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of pain, C-reactive protein level, fatigue, kinesiophobia, QoL, and total, high, and moderate physical activity scores (p<0.001). Among the RA patients in remission, there was a significant correlation between kinesiophobia and moderate physical activity and QoL, as well as between fatigue and high physical activity (p<0.05). Conclusion: Patient education and multidisciplinary approach strategies should be developed to increase the QoL and physical activity and reduce kinesiophobia in RA patients in remission since there may be a decrease in physical activity due to kinesiophobia, fatigue, and fear of movement in this patient group compared to the healthy population, impairing their QoL.

“…A short form version (IPAQ-SF) is available in different languages, which condenses the original 31 questions into 7. Although it is a generic rather than disease-specific tool, the IPAQ is currently one of the most commonly used physical activity questionnaires in RA research [ 40–42 ]. However, evidence of its reproducibility and validity in this population is scarce.…”

The importance of sufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity as a key component of a healthy lifestyle is well established, as are the health risks associated with high levels of sedentary behaviour. However, many people with RA do not undertake sufficient physical activity and are highly sedentary. To start addressing this, it is important to be able to carry out an adequate assessment of the physical activity levels of individual people in order that adequate steps can be taken to promote and improve healthy lifestyles. Different methods are available to measure different aspects of physical activity in different settings. In controlled laboratory environments, respiratory gas analysis can measure the energy expenditure of different activities accurately. In free-living environments, the doubly labelled water method is the gold standard for identifying total energy expenditure over a prolonged period of time (>10 days). To assess patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in daily life, objective methods with body-worn activity monitors using accelerometry are superior to self-reported questionnaire- or diary-based methods.
