Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Aviation Medicine, Bioengineering and Psychology - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of the article is to present a case study and the role of inclusion of cognitivebehavioral psychotherapy in the physiotherapy of patients suff ering from kinesiophobia. This disorder is characterized by a strong fear of physical activity, exercise and activation after surgery for fear of injury. It occurs most frequently after orthopaedic surgeries, and the most common reasons for treatment in this regard are lesions of traumatic or degenerative nature, as well as the presence of the chronic pain syndrome. Kinesiophobia is a psychological risk factor, which is important for the progress of physiotherapeutic treatment, as its presence can signifi cantly slow down the recovery process. Early detection of the fear of movement and the observation that the patient avoids behavioral activity may have a positive impact on the patient’s involvement in postoperative treatment and faster recovery. The inclusion of cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques in patients with mobility anxiety and long-term pain can signifi cantly aff ect the rate of recovery.
