Task-specific fear rather than general kinesiophobia assessment is associated with kinematic differences in chronic low back pain during lumbar flexion: a preliminary investigation.

Abstract

Kinematic data obtained during a movement task by individuals with chronic low back pain seem to be related to pain-related fear. General kinesiophobia assessments, such as Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, are often used to assess pain-related fear. However, these questionnaires could suffer from a lack of sensitivity and do not measure the fear of specific movements.
