Objective: Kinesiophobia and fear to return to activity are common problems encountered following musculoskeletal injuries.The relationship between kinesiophobia and some psychological parameters has been investigated in the individuals with a history of ligament injury or fracture of lower extremity.Material and method: The study included 120 individuals (60 female, 60 male), 40 individuals with a history of ligament injury, 40 individuals with a history of fractures in the lower extremities and 40 healthy individuals.The participants were evaluated with Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI -I&STAI-II).Number of fractures or ligament injuries, time of injury, time elapsed from the diagnosis and the duration of treatment were noted.Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of STAI-I and STAI-II scores (p>0.05),however there were significant differences between groups in terms of TSK scores (p=0.001).There were no correlation between STAI-I and TSK scores and STAI-II and TSK scores (p>0.05).TSK scores of the individuals with a history of fracture were significantly higher than other groups (p=0.007).There were no significant differences between the TSK scores in terms of fracture location and ligament injury (p>0.05).Conclusion: It has been concluded that kinesiophobia was not related to emotional status and anxiety levels.Higher kinesiophobia scores of the individuals who had fractures could be related to longer periods of treatment.
