Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in chronic neck pain patients (TSK-neck): structural and construct validity and reliability in a Brazilian population.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the internal structure of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) specifically for Brazilian patients suffering from chronic neck pain, as current literature lacks such analysis.
- Researchers included 335 Brazilian participants with chronic neck pain and analyzed various structures of the TSK using confirmatory factor analysis, ultimately identifying a suitable structure consisting of 2 domains and 9 items.
- The final TSK structure demonstrated good reliability and validity, indicating a strong correlation between kinesiophobia measures and pain-related factors, while also noting redundancies in certain items that were subsequently removed.
Objective: To evaluate the measurement properties of the Brazilian version of the Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale (CNFDS) in patients with chronic neck pain.
Methods: One hundred and five patients were included in the study. The structural validity of the CNFDS was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with the following fit indices: chi-square divided by degrees of freedom (chi-square/df), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), comparative fit index (CFI), and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI).
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the structural validity of the Brazilian version of the Neck Disability Index (NDI) in patients with chronic neck pain.
Summary Of Background Data: NDI is widely used in clinical and scientific contexts, although its structure has not been evaluated in the Brazilian version.

Background: The original structure of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) has been contested in several languages.
Objective: To assess the structural validity of the Brazilian version of WOMAC among patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Design And Setting: Structural validity study conducted at physiotherapy clinics and primary healthcare units.
