Is "fear of passive movement" a distinctive component of the Fear-Avoidance Model in whiplash?
Modify the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) for 'fear of passive motion' beliefs. ⋯ 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 pain patients in a clinical setting. Modifications to the current version of the TSK-PM might improve its construct validity in future studies.
