Non-linear threshold effects of kinesiophobia on exercise adherence in older adults with COPD: a segmented regression analysis
Exercise adherence was suboptimal in older adults with COPD, who demonstrated substantial kinesiophobia. A TSK score of 20 points serves as a critical threshold, recommending its use for early identification of high-risk patients. Clinical management should prioritize patients with TSK scores ≥20, frequent exacerbations, and comorbid anxiety for targeted interventions.
