Ltd.10.26689/jcnr.v9i3.10078ArticleResearch Progress of Kinesiophobia in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritishttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JCNR/9/3/10.26689/jcnr.v9i3.10078GaoNa,GuoQian,YangMingyue,ChenXuewei,YangYing,ZhangYing2025932025-04-03Kinesiophobia is recognized as one of the primary barriers for patients participating in physical rehabilitation. This fear can create psychological obstacles to engaging in rehabilitation exercises or daily activities, leading to a significant decline in health-related quality of life. Currently, kinesiophobia has primarily been studied in the context of chronic pain and cardiovascular diseases, while its awareness and intervention in the field of Rheumatoid Arthritis have not received sufficient attention. Assisting patients in overcoming kinesiophobia is particularly crucial for initiating physical activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis. This article aims to review the assessment tools, influencing factors, and intervention strategies for kinesiophobia in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, with the goal of providing clinical healthcare professionals with references and insights for developing and implementing interventions, thereby promoting active rehabilitation among patients.
