Correlation Of Kinesiophobia With Pain-Disability And Muscle Endurance Among The Individuals With Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain: A Pilot Study

Background: Patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) frequently present with kinesiophobia. Objective of this study is to find correlation of kinesiophobia with pain-disability and kinesiophobia with back extensor muscle endurance. Method: A pilot study had been conducted with 13 patients around Amreli. Kinesiophobia, lumbar endurance and Pain-disability were assessed with Tampa Scale, Soren’s lumbar extensor test, modified Oswestry disability index respectively. Result: The data is analysed by using SPSS 27 software. And it was found that Pearson Correlation value for kinesiophobia with pain-disability was found 0.186(r=0.186) and Pearson correlation value for kinesiophobia with muscle endurance was found -0.182(r= -0.182). Conclusion: The presence of kinesiophobia in chronic non-specific low back pain patient show moderate positive correlation with pain-disability. Presence of kinesiophobia in chronic non-specific low back pain patient show moderate negative correlation with muscle endurance.
