ROLE OF KINESIOPHOBIA IN LOCOMOTOR INJURY REHABILITATION

Kineziofobija ili strah od pokreta je česta pojava u rehabilitaciji ozljeda lokomotornog sustava. Također igra veliku ulogu u prelasku akutne boli u kroničnu. Pojam je nastao unutar modela koji opisuje izbjegavanje pokreta uvjetovano strahom od boli. Kineziofobija se mjeri putem Tampa upitnika za kineziofobiju koji je sastavljen od 17 izjava o boli, vjerovanjima o boli i tjelesnom stanju te o vježbanju. U ovom istraživanju cilj je bio ustanoviti pojavnost kineziofobije kod osoba koje se rehabilitiraju od ozljeda lokomotornog sustava, kao i izmjeriti razinu kineziofobije putem Tampa upitnika. U istraživanju je dobrovoljno sudjelovalo 53 ispitanika koji su se u tom trenutku rehabilitirali od ozljeda lokomotornog sustava, te se ono provodilo u Zadru 2020. godine. Rezultati su pokazali kako je razina kineziofobije viša kod: muškaraca naspram žena, kod starije dobne skupine naspram mlađe, kao i kod ispitanika koji nisu aktivni naspram onih koji su aktivni u svakodnevnom životu.Kinesiophobia or fear of movement is commonly found in rehabilitation from locomotor injuries.
