Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia may underestimate task-specific fear of movement in people with and without low back pain

ABSTRACT: Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Abstract

Introduction:

The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) is commonly used to assess fear of movement (FoM) in people with low back pain (LBP). However, the TSK does not provide a task-specific measure of FoM, whereas image-based or video-based methods may do so.

Objectives:

To compare the magnitude of FoM when assessed using 3 methods (TSK-11, image of lifting, video of lifting) in 3 groups of people: current LBP (LBP), recovered LBP (rLBP), and asymptomatic controls (control).

Methods:

Fifty-one participants completed the TSK-11 and rated their FoM when viewing images and videos depicting people lifting objects. Low back pain and rLBP participants also completed the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Line
