The Relationship Between Kinesiophobia, Mobility, Postural Control and Fear of Falling in Patients With Stroke

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Stroke is a sudden decrease or cessation of blood flow to the brain. Two specific types of stroke account for the majority of stroke cases. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the brain, and ischemic strokes are caused by the blockage of an artery in the brain; Both conditions cause local hypoxia that damages brain tissue. Although both are serious and common, ischemic strokes are more common. Motor disorders after stroke manifest themselves as poor motor coordination, which also impairs mobility, as well as deterioration in muscle strength and tone. Post-stroke rehabilitation aims to help patients return to daily living activities by restoring the function of damaged muscles. One of the most fundamental problems of rehabilitation and daily life is decreased mobility. Biomedical understanding of kinesiophobia by assuming that the cause of the problem is the fear that physical activity will increase pain or disease symptoms. Kinesiophobia as the fear of experiencing physical or psychological discomfort. Balance disorders are among the important factors affecting falls. Impaired postural control has a major impact on independence and gait in activities of daily living. Evaluation of postural balance in the subacute and chronic periods in stroke patients is an important factor in predicting the risk of falling. We believe that postural problems seen in stroke patients may affect kinesiophobia and fear of falling. Pain and balance disorders seen in stroke patients can trigger the fear of falling, and the fear of falling can trigger the fear of moving.In approximately 60-70% of chronic stroke patients, poor self-esteem about falls is associated with increased anxiety and limitations in mobility balance. -qualification is declared.
