Kinesiophobia is an excessive, irrational, debilitating fear of physical movement and activity caused by a sense of vulnerability to pain or re-injury, which can have a direct impact on physical functioning and mental well-being of patients. This paper aims to provide reliable support for future in-depth research on kinesiophobia through scientometrics and historical review. Studies on kinesiophobia published from 2002 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to conduct bibliometric analysis of the included studies and map knowledge domains. Keywords were manually clustered, and the results were analyzed and summarized in combination with a literature review. A total of 4157 original research articles and reviews were included. Research on kinesiophobia is developing steadily and has received more attention from scholars in recent years. There are regional differences in the distribution of research. Chronic pain is the focus of research in this field. A multidisciplinary model of pain neuroscience education combined with physical therapy based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and the introduction and development of virtual reality may be the frontier of research. There is a large space for the study of kinesiophobia. In the future, to improve regional academic exchanges and cooperation, more attention should be given to the clinical applicability and translation of scientific work, which will be conducive to improving the quality of life and physical and mental health outcomes of kinesiophobia patients.
动惧症是一种过度的、不合理的、使人衰弱的对身体运动和活动的恐惧，是由于对疼痛或再次受伤的脆弱感引起的，这可能直接影响患者的身体功能和心理健康。本文旨在通过科学计量学和历史回顾为动惧症的深入研究提供可靠支持。从 Web of Science 核心合集检索了 2002 年至 2022 年发表的关于动惧症的研究。使用 CiteSpace 和 VOSviewer 对纳入的研究进行了文献计量分析和知识领域图谱绘制。手动对关键词进行聚类，并结合文献综述对结果进行分析和总结。共纳入 4157 篇原始研究文章和综述。动惧症的研究正在稳步发展，近年来受到学者们的更多关注。研究的分布存在地域差异。慢性疼痛是该领域研究的重点。疼痛神经科学教育与认知行为疗法相结合的多学科物理治疗模式，以及虚拟现实的引入和发展，可能是研究的前沿。动惧症的研究有很大的空间。未来，为了提高区域学术交流与合作，应更加关注科学工作的临床适用性和翻译，这将有助于提高动惧症患者的生活质量和身心健康结果。
