About this trial

Questionnaires/scales used to evaluate kinesiophobia in the literature are limited and are not specific to the upper extremity in existing scales. For this reason, the primary purpose and subject of the study is to develop a multi-factor kinesiophobia scale specific to shoulder problems.

The study is an observational research. Participants will be interviewed twice in total. All primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed at the first meeting. The second come will be performed within 5-7 days after the first assessment. In the second come, only the new kinesiophobia scale that is intended to be developed will be applied.
