Özet:

 Purpose: Kinesiophobia is a significant concern in persons with neck and back pain. This study aimed to evaluate the measurement properties of the Single-Item Kinesiophobia Scale SKS including test-retest reliability and convergent validity. Material and Methods: A total of 101 participants n38 with neck pain and n63 with back pain were included. The SKS was applied twice 7-14 days apart. Test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients ICCs. Validity was examined through correlations with established measures: the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia TKS, Visual Analog Scale VAS during activity and rest, Neck Disability Index NDI, and Oswestry Disability Index ODI. Floorceiling effects and score distribution were also analyzed. Results: The SKS demonstrated moderate test-retest reliability neck pain: ICC0.56 95CI: 0.300.75, back pain: 0.52 95CI: 0.310.68 in the back pain group. It demonstrated moderate correlations with the TKS rho0.446-0.555 but small correlations with the VAS rho0.2610.265 and ODI rho0.278 in the back pain group. No significant correlations were found between the SKS and VAS or NDI in the neck pain group. Conclusion: The SKS is a simple and feasible screening tool for kinesiophobia but should be used alongside comprehensive measures due to its moderate psychometric properties and limitations.
