The Relationship Between Fear-Avoidance and Neuromuscular Measures of Function in Patients With Adult Degenerative Scoliosis

Conclusion. This study demonstrates a strong correlation between neuromuscular gait parameters and fear-avoidance of movement which may reflect ADS patient experiences during ambulation. Further, it demonstrates that there are different aspects of fear-avoidance that may influence gait parameters. This study extends previous research on the role of fear-avoidance to include patients with spinal deformity. Level of Evidence: 3
