Validation of Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia in patients with shoulder instability.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) has been used to evaluate psychological outcomes in patients with low back pain, anterior cruciate ligament injuries, and other orthopaedic conditions, but no previous study verified the validity of TSK for patients with glenohumeral instability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measurement properties of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-13) in patients with glenohumeral instability. Methods: The present study was designed as an observational study that includes individuals with a diagnosis of pathological glenohumeral instability. All patients underwent a structured interview to collect information on personal socio-demographic and contextual characteristics at the time of enrolment. Kinesiophobia was assessed using the 13-item version of the TSK-13. The questionnaire is divided into two domains (subscales): activity avoidance (AA) and health anxiety (HA). Additionally, enroled patients were administered the American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score and the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) questionnaire. The validation of the TSK questionnaire was conducted according to the analysis plan outlined in the IQOLA project and current guidelines. Correlation analysis was performed between TSK and ASES and WOSI. Results: The study population consisted of 100 patients. The TSK-13 questionnaire showed no floor and ceiling effects; all the correlations between each question in a given domain and the score of the same domain showed a very significant correlation ( Conclusion: Measurement properties of the TSK-13 in patients with glenohumeral instability were good to excellent in terms of validity and reliability. The TSK-13 is a valid and useful instrument to assess kinesiophobia in patients affected by glenohumeral instability. Level of Evidence: Level III, observational study.
