Overview

Nationwide survey evaluates the impact of physical activity and physiotherapists on IBD management, suggesting improved patient outcomes.

Key Points

  • This research assesses the influence of kinesiophobia and the role of physical activity and physiotherapy in managing inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Distributed online questionnaires to gather demographic and clinical data from IBD patients.
  • Employed the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale to measure patients' fear of movement and the Godin scale to evaluate physical activity levels.
  • Analyzed responses from 356 IBD patients regarding their physical activity and physiotherapy consultations.
  • 51% of patients reported a decrease in physical activity, with 93% of those not having consulted a physiotherapist.
  • 51% expressed a need for physiotherapy, and 75% wanted more information about managing their condition.
  • Higher kinesiophobia levels correlated with age, joint pain, and reduced physical activity.
