About this study

Official title: Kinesiophobia in Patients With Total Knee Arthroplasty

Kinesiophobia after total knee arthroplasty is an important parameter affecting recovery. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and the factors it may cause is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after total knee arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Various biopsychosocial factors affect the recovery process and quality of life after total knee arthroplasty. This situation reaches a level that can affect the daily life activities of patients, especially in the long term. Especially kinesiophobia is one of these factors. This condition also affects the proprioceptive sense in the knee, the capacity to move and the fear of falling. However, studies have generally examined long-term effects after total knee arthroplasty. Early studies are limited in number. More studies are needed to better understand the relationship between kinesiophobia and biopsychosocial factors. Additionally, the lack of relationship between the patients' kinesiophobia level, fear of falling, and proprioception in the early period after TKA draws attention. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after TKA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT06336200
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Higher KinesiophobiaIt is a group with a high level of kinesiophobia according to the "Tampa kinesiophobia scale".
Lower KinesiophobiaIt is a group with a low level of kinesiophobia according to the "Tampa kinesiophobia scale".

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Kinesiophobia

    Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be used to measure the level of fear of movement and re-injury. In this scale, a score ranges from 17 to 68, and an increase in the score means an increase in kinesiophobia. A score of 39.5 and above indicates the presence of high kinesiophobia.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Severity of pain

    Visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate individuals' level of knee pain. A value of 0 indicates no pain, a value of 10 indicates very high pain.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Functional mobility

    'Timed Up and Go Test' will be used to evaluate the mobility and functions of the patients.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Proprioception

    Patients' knee joint proprioception sense will be measured with the 'Knee Joint Position Sense Test'. The angle of deviation from the target angle will be determined.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Fear of falling

    While performing daily living activities, self-confidence and fear of falling will be evaluated with The Falls Efficacy Scale-International. A score between 16-65 is taken and as the total score increases, the probability of falling increases.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Osteoarthritis and Kinesiophobia, run by Karabuk University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 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?

Kinesiophobia (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Dec 2024.
