Physical activity, fatigue, kinesiophobia and quality of life: comparative study of prostate cancer survivors with healthy controls
Kinesiophobia in PCa is significantly influenced by both biological and psychological factors. Kinesiophobia negatively affects patients' functional status and overall quality of life. Their well-being is shaped not only by their physical and emotional conditions but also by the quality of their family relationships. This multifaceted impact highlights the complex interaction between physical activity, functional abilities, emotional health and social dynamics in PCa. In addition to routine treatments for PCa patients, the development and implementation of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme may lead to significant improvements in their quality of life.
