The association between kinesiophobia and proprioception, postural stability, activity level, knee function, and quality of life following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Abstract
Methods: Thirty-five sedentary men who underwent unilateral arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft participated in the present study. Medical history, age, gender, height, weight, and body mass index were recorded. Kinesiophobia, proprioception, postural stability, activity level, knee function, and quality of life were measured using with Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, Biodex System 4 Pro dynamometer, Pedalo® Sensamove Balance System, Tegner Activity Score, Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, Anterior Cruciate Ligament Quality of Life, respectively.
Results: There was a significant correlation between kinesiophobia degree and activity level (p=0.027). No significant correlation was found between kinesiophobia degree and proprioception (p=0.095) and postural stability (p=0.518). In addition, it was found that kinesiophobia degree was not correlated with knee function (p=0.364), and quality of life scores (p=0.058).
Conclusion: According to our results, kinesiophobia degree was correlated with activity level after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It is recommended that targeting to treat kinesiophobia may be beneficial for the patients those who are physically inactive.
