The Relationship Between Kinesiophobia, Mobility, Postural Control and Fear of Falling in Patients With Stroke
An observational study of Stroke, run by Uskudar University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Stroke is a sudden decrease or cessation of blood flow to the brain. Two specific types of stroke account for the majority of stroke cases. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the brain, and ischemic strokes are caused by the blockage of an artery in the brain; Both conditions cause… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Relationship Between Kinesiophobia, Functional Mobility, Postural Control and Fear of Falling in Patients With Stroke
Stroke is a sudden decrease or cessation of blood flow to the brain. Two specific types of stroke account for the majority of stroke cases. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the brain, and ischemic strokes are caused by the blockage of an artery in the brain; Both conditions cause local hypoxia that damages brain tissue. Although both are serious and common, ischemic strokes are more common. Motor disorders after stroke manifest themselves as poor motor coordination, which also impairs mobility, as well as deterioration in muscle strength and tone. Post-stroke rehabilitation aims to help patients return to daily living activities by restoring the function of damaged muscles. One of the most fundamental problems of rehabilitation and daily life is decreased mobility. Biomedical understanding of kinesiophobia by assuming that the cause of the problem is the fear that physical activity will increase pain or disease symptoms. Kinesiophobia as the fear of experiencing physical or psychological discomfort.
Balance disorders are among the important factors affecting falls. Impaired postural control has a major impact on independence and gait in activities of daily living. Evaluation of postural balance in the subacute and chronic periods in stroke patients is an important factor in predicting the risk of falling. We believe that postural problems seen in stroke patients may affect kinesiophobia and fear of falling.
Pain and balance disorders seen in stroke patients can trigger the fear of falling, and the fear of falling can trigger the fear of moving.In approximately 60-70% of chronic stroke patients, poor self-esteem about falls is associated with increased anxiety and limitations in mobility balance. -qualification is declared.
Read the detailed description
Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of experiencing physical or psychological discomfort Postural control is necessary to maintain balance, control the body's position in space, and reflect the body's sensorimotor function. Poor trunk control affects balance and mobility in stroke patients and increases the risk of falls. Kinesiophobia can also significantly affect postural control The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between functional level, postural balance, fear of falling and kinesiophobia in patients with stroke. The secondary aim is to evaluate kinesiophobia according to the demographic information of stroke patients.
This study is a cross-sectional research. To determine the sample size, the power of the study was calculated using the G*Power Version 3.1.9.6 package program. Accordingly, it was determined that the sample size should be at least 40 to have a significance level of 0.05 and the power of the study to be 0.95. Sociodemographic information of stroke patients participating in the study will first be collected. Then, the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) will be used to evaluate kinesiophobia, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) will be used to evaluate functional mobility and balance, and the Tinetti Fall Activity Scale will be used to evaluate the fear of falling. After the data are collected, the relationship between them will be analyzed.

| study subjects | In this study, participants will participate in the study after reading and approving the informed consent form. Volunteers participating in the study will first fill out the demographic information form. Then, the volunteers will be administered the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, Trunk Impairment Scale, and Tinetti Fall Effectiveness Scale. This study is a correlation study. Individuals' Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale results will be analyzed and interpreted with other scale results. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia
Tampa kinesiophobia scale consists of 17 questions. It is scored with a 4-point Likert scoring system. 1- I totally disagree 2- I disagree 3- I agree 4- I totally agree. The 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th questions are reverse Likert. The total score is between 17-68 points.
Measured: Change from baseline
Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)
In the timed up and go test, the individual stands up from a sitting position at a height of approximately 46 cm, walks 3 meters, turns back and sits down again. The test is repeated twice. Elapsed time is measured in seconds. 14 seconds or more is considered a high fall risk.
Measured: Change from baseline
Trunk Impairment Scale
It was developed in 2004. This scale consists of 17 parameters. Static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination are evaluated. The total score is minimum 0 and maximum 23 points.
Measured: Change from baseline
Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale (FES)
It is a 10-item scale that evaluates perceived self-efficacy in preventing falls during basic daily living activities. Getting in and out of bed, getting in and out of a chair, taking a bath or shower, dressing and undressing, reaching shelves, walking around the house, answering the door or phone, and preparing meals without lifting. handling heavy objects and simple purchases. Individuals give a score between 0 (very safe) and 10 (not safe) for each question, and when all scores are added up, a total score between 0 and 100 is obtained.
Measured: Change from baseline

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (time frame: Change from baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06088342, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
