Working in such position for longer duration may develop chronic neck pain. Kinesiophobia is one of the most extreme forms of fear of pain due to movement or re injury. In re-injury in chronic cases due to pain , severity and cognitive responses to pain may be associated with functional impairment. Patients having kinesiophobia believe that some movement may cause re injury & additional pain therefore it is one of the risk factor for persistent pain. So the present study was done to find correlation between pain and kinesiophobia.
