TITLE OF STUDY: Does Scoring on the TAMPA Scale of Kinesiophobia Impact Single-Leg Balance for ACL Surgery Patients?
Purpose/Specific Aims:
The purpose of the research is to investigate the relationship between TSK scores and single-leg balance test results in ACL reconstruction patients.
Objectives:
This study aims to answer the following questions:
1.) Is there a significant difference in single-leg balance between those with kinesiophobia and those without?
2.) Is there a change in kinesiophobia and single-leg balance test results over time?
Hypotheses / Research Question(s):
This study’s hypothesis is that patients who score higher on the TSK (more fear) will do worse on the single-leg balance test than patients who score lower on the TSK.
