Resumo
[Abstract] Fear of movement or kinesiophobia is an irrational fear of physical movement and fatigue
that causes a limitation of functional capacity and decreased physical activity. The purpose of
this study was to ascertain the level of kinesiophobia in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS)
and compare it with a group of healthy people, through the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia with
11 items (TSK-11). Method: A total of 116 subjects were recruited in a multicenter case-control study;
58 subjects suffered from MS and 58 were healthy subjects from different associations and the same
locality. To assess the levels of fear of movement, the Spanish version of the TSK-11 self-questionnaire
was used. Results: Most pwMS suffer from some degree of kinesiophobia (TSK-11 18), and
60.3% had moderate to maximum kinesiophobia scores (TSK-11 25). In contrast, healthy subjects
presented a percentage of kinesiophobia from none to moderate (82.7%). Conclusions: Kinesiophobia
is higher in pwMS than in the healthy control group. Accordingly, individuals showing pwMS should
be assessed and monitored in order to diagnosed initial kinesiophobia levels, to allow planning
treatment and preventive care activities that may improve the foot health and overall health in this
group of patients
