Summary

This study looks at how fear of movement (kinesiophobia) affects balance and confidence in stroke patients. Researchers will survey 138 stroke survivors using questionnaires about fear, balance, pain, and mood. No treatments are given—the goal is simply to understand the connections between these factors.
