Effects of exercise/physical activity on fear of movement in people with spine-related pain: a systematic review.

Authors

Jadhakhan F, Sobeih R, Falla D

Abstract

Kinesiophobia (i.e., fear of movement) can be an important contributor for ongoing pain and disability in people with spine-related pain. It remains unclear whether physical activity interventions/exercise influence kinesiophobia in this population. A systematic review was therefore conducted to synthesize the available evidence on whether physical activity interventions/exercise influence kinesiophobia in people with chronic non-specific spine-related pain.
