Developing a kinesiophobia scale for shoulder injuries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a multi-factor kinesiophobia scale specifically designed for individuals with shoulder injuries. Participants will undergo two assessments, where the first will evaluate various outcomes and the second will focus on the newly developed kinesiophobia scale. The study seeks to address the limitations of existing scales that do not adequately assess kinesiophobia in the context of upper extremity conditions. By gathering data from participants with specific shoulder pathologies, the study aims to enhance the understanding of kinesiophobia in this population.
