Fear of movement and other associated factors in older patients with total knee arthroplasty.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundKinesiophobia is an important risk factor for functional activities of patients in the early stage following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
aimsThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of movement and associated factors in older patients in the late stage after TKA.
methodsThe study included 45 older patients (mean age:70.11 ± 0.90 years) with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA. Kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK). Pain and strength in the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle were assessed by the Visual Analog Scale and hand-held dynamometer, respectively. Functional level was determined using the 30-s sit-to-stand test (STS) and 10-m walking test.
resultsThere were correlations between TSK and QF muscle strength (r = -0.538, p < 0.001), activity pain level (r = 0.489, p = 0.001), and 30-s STS (r = -0.306, p = 0.041). There were no correlations between TSK and age (r = 0.207, p = 0.172) and 10-m walking test (r = 0.112, p = 0.465).
conclusionsIncreased pain and decreased QF muscle strength and functional level on STS were related with fear of movement in TKA patients. It was concluded that kinesiophobia of older patients with TKA must be considered during the assessment and rehabilitation program in the late stage after TKA.
