Impact of kinesiophobia on physical function and quality of life in functional ankle instability individuals: an observational study

Abstract Background Functional ankle instability is a common musculoskeletal condition affecting the community. It characterized by repetitive bouts of giving away, recurrent sprains, and sensation leading to functional deficits in an individual. The present study aimed assess influence kinesiophobia on physical function quality life participants with instability. A cross-sectional was conducted 30 Kinesiophobia assessed using 17-item Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia, Foot Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) FAAM-Sport version (FAAM-S), SF-36. Results TSK score showed moderate negative correlation FAAM-S (r = ?0.5, p 0.005) weak SF-36 component summary ?0.42, 0.02). However, no significant FAAM-ADL mental summary. Conclusion Increased fear movement, reduced function, health-related were observed individuals. Hence, evaluation these parameters imperative
