The relationship between post-concussion kinesiophobia and clinical and functional reaction time (RT) beyond clinical recovery remains to be elucidated.
College-aged participants with (n = 20) and without (n = 20) a concussion history completed patient-reported outcomes, and RT tasks. Kinesiophobia, symptoms and RTs were compared using t-tests. Linear regressions were performed to determine if kinesiophobia predicted RT measures and dual-task cost.
The concussion history group reported higher scores (p < 0.01) for all patient-reported outcomes. We observed significant single-task RT differences between groups (p = 0.013) such that those without a concussion history (m = 0.51s ± 0.08) were faster (m = 0.59s ± 0.12). There were no clinical or dual-task RT differences between groups (p > 0.05). Kinesiophobia significantly predicted single-task RT (R = 0.22).
Kinesiophobia should be considered when measuring RT.
脑震荡后运动恐惧与临床恢复后临床及功能反应时间（RT）之间的关系仍有待阐明。
有（n = 20）和无（n = 20）脑震荡病史的大学生参与者完成了患者报告结局及反应时间任务。使用t检验比较运动恐惧、症状和反应时间。进行线性回归以确定运动恐惧是否能预测反应时间测量值和双任务成本。
脑震荡病史组在所有患者报告结局上得分更高（p < 0.01）。我们观察到两组之间单任务反应时间存在显著差异（p = 0.013），即无脑震荡病史者（m = 0.51秒±0.08）反应更快（m = 0.59秒±0.12）。两组之间在临床或双任务反应时间上无差异（p > 0.05）。运动恐惧显著预测单任务反应时间（R = 0.22）。
在测量反应时间时应考虑运动恐惧。
