OBJECTIVES: Modify the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) for 'fear of passive motion' beliefs. METHODS: With permission, a 14-item modification, the TSK-PM (passive movement), was created. Test-retest reliability was tested first. Construct validity was tested in chronic @entity7125 @entity1 by comparing the TSK-PM with the TSK, the @entity717 ( @entity717 ) and cervical ranges of motion. RESULTS: The TSK-PM showed high test-retest reliability (r = 0.83) and high correlation with the original TSK (r = 0.84). Low, non-significant correlations were found with other variables. @entity717 scores were strongly correlated with ranges of motion. CONCLUSIONS: While having high test-retest reliability and a single factor structure, the TSK-PM failed to demonstrate distinctive construct validity vs the original TSK. The original TSK is likely to be sufficient to assess fear of being moved in neck @entity158 @entity1 in a clinical setting. Modifications to the current version of the TSK-PM might improve its construct validity in future studies.
