The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between Kinesiophobia and dynamic balance in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
Forty subjects with PFPS [20 Low Kinesiophobia (LK), 20 High Kinesiophobia (HK)], and 20 pain-free subjects (control group) were enrolled in the study. All subjects performed a Y-balance test to measure the dynamic balance. Normalized reach distance and balance parameters were recorded.
Our findings indicated that patients with PFPS who have a greater Kinesiophobia showed a poorer dynamic balance. In addition, the HK group showed a significantly lower mean reach distance score in the anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial directions compared to LK and healthy groups.
Addressing the psychological factors such as Kinesiophobia during examination and treatment of people with PFPS may be important to improve the dynamic balance.
本研究旨在探讨髌股疼痛综合征（PFPS）患者的运动恐惧与动态平衡之间的关系。
本研究纳入了40例PFPS患者[20例低运动恐惧（LK）患者、20例高运动恐惧（HK）患者]以及20例无疼痛受试者（对照组）。所有受试者均进行Y平衡测试以测量动态平衡。记录标准化伸展距离和平衡参数。
我们的研究结果表明，运动恐惧程度较高的PFPS患者动态平衡较差。此外，与LK组和健康组相比，HK组在前、后外侧和后内侧方向的平均伸展距离得分显著更低。
在对PFPS患者进行检查和治疗时，处理诸如运动恐惧等心理因素可能对改善动态平衡很重要。
