Purpose: To determine the burden of fear-avoidance beliefs (FAB), kinesiophobia, and risk of persistent disability among Indians with spine pain.
Methods: Demographic and clinical data collected from 139 patients who attended a spine rehabilitation clinic for assessment and treatment of their spine pain were analyzed. Fear-avoidance beliefs, kinesiophobia, and risk of persistent disability were measured using the Fear-avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), and the STarT Back Tool (SBT).
