First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how fear of movement (kinesiophobia), pain level, and physical abilities are connected in older adults with muscle or joint pain. Researchers will measure balance, strength, and fear in 60 people aged 65 and older during a single 30-minute session. The goal is to help doctors create better programs to reduce fear and improve mobility in seniors.
