Study population: The patients between the ages of 18-65 who were referred to the hand rehabilitation unit due to traumatic hand and forearm injuries, those who did not have any neurological, orthopedic, rheumatological disease or surgery history in the relevant extremity and those who did not have communication problems were eligible to participate in the study.

Brief summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) in patients with traumatic hand and forearm injuries.

A total of 170 patients with traumatic hand-forearm injuries with a mean age of 37.57±11.85 (18-63) years were included in the study. TSK, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied to the patients in the first session. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia was re-administered 15 days after the first session. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the TSK were evaluated. In addition, exploratory factor analysis was applied.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* patients who had traumatic hand and forearm injuries
* being 18-65 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

* patients who have neurological, orthopedic, rheumatological disease or surgery history in the relevant extremity
* patients who have communication problems

Primary outcomes:
measure: Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (change)
timeFrame: The evaluation were completed in the first session when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit, and it was also repeated 15 days after the first session. The exact time is post-operative/post-injury 2nd week and 4th week. Change
measure: Pain Catastrophizing Scale
timeFrame: The evaluation were completed in the first session for once when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit. The exact time is post-operative/post-injury 2nd week.
measure: Beck Anxiety Inventory
timeFrame: The evaluation were completed in the first session for once when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit. The exact time is post-operative/post-injury 2nd week.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Modified Hand Injury Scoring System
timeFrame: The evaluation were completed in the first session for once when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit.The exact time is post-operative/post-injury 2nd week.
measure: Visual Analogue Scale
timeFrame: The evaluation were completed in the first session for once when the patient applied to the hand rehabilitation unit.The exact time is post-operative/post-injury 2nd week.
