Summary

This study looked at 46 people with meniscus injuries—some treated with surgery, others without—to see if muscle strength differences between legs are linked to fear of movement (kinesiophobia). Researchers measured muscle strength and used a questionnaire to assess fear. The goal is to understand how these factors relate, which could help improve recovery programs.
