Summary

The kinesiophobia; defined as irrational fear of movement, which may occur after painful injury and reduce physical activity. It develops the idea that movement in individuals will cause re-injury and cause additional pain to existing pain. Studies have shown that this situation leads to a decrease in physical fitness, avoidance of activity, decrease in quality of life and even depression in the long term. It is known that functional problems such as balance problems and decrease in physical activity level occur in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, in the literature, there is no study investigating the presence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the aims of our study were to 1) determine the presence / absence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease 2) determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and falling, balance, physical activity level in the presence of kinesiophobia.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Berg-Balance Test, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Falls Efficacy Scale	Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale: The TSK is a 17-item self report checklist using a 4-point Likert scale that was developed as a measure of fear of movement or (re)injury. Berg-Balance Test: 14-item scale designed to measure balance of the older adult in a clinical setting. International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form: This measure assesses the types of intensity of physical activity and sitting time that people do as part of their daily lives are considered to estimate total physical activity in MET-min/week and time spent sitting.
