[Kinesiophobia in shoulder disorders : Validation of the German version of the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK-GV)].

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
backgroundWith a prevalence of 7-30%, shoulder disorders form the third largest group of musculoskeletal complaints. Their formation and development is influenced by, e.g. psychological factors. The Tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK) is the most common measure for quantifying fear of movement.
objectivesTo investigate the reliability and validity of the German version of the TSK (TSK-GV) in a shoulder pain population. MATERIALS AND
methodsSubjects with shoulder pain were included in a multicenter cross-sectional study. In addition to kinesiophobia, pain intensity, subjective impairment in daily life and fear-avoidance beliefs were recorded.
resultsA total of 49 subjects (24 women and 25 men) with a mean age of 41.8 (SD = 12.8) were included. The descriptive evaluation at item level showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.81). The homogeneity of the scale is poor (Loevinger's H = 0.35). The correlations did not show any clear convergence of the TSK-GV with the fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) (r = 0.3501; p = 0.0137). The divergent validity was confirmed for both the numerical rating scale (NRS) (r = 0.1216; p = 0.4052) and the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) (r = 0.2571; p = 0.0745). The hypothesis testing resulted in 28.57% accepted hypotheses. There was a significant influence of the TSK-GV and the FABQ on the duration of complaints (R
conclusionThe TSK-GV is a reliable measurement tool. The construct validity should be further investigated in future studies. This study shows comparable values to previous studies in other populations. The TSK-GV is to date the only validated German language measure for recording fear of movement in shoulder disorders and shows an acceptable fit for this population.
