Puropose: In this research, the goal was to explore the occurrence of kinesiophobia in people rehabilitating from injuries of the locomotor system and to measure the level of kinesiophobia.

It plays a major role in the transition of acute pain to chronic pain and also affects the outcomes of rehabilitation. The term arose within a model that describes the avoidance of movement due to the fear of pain or re-injury. Design: This cross-sectional study (N=53) was conducted in Zadar in 2020. The level of kinesiophobia was measured using the Tampa questionnaire, which was composed of 17 statements about pain, beliefs about pain and physical condition, and about exercise. Results: The results showed that the level of kinesiophobia is higher in men compared to women, in older people compared to younger people, as well as in participants who are not active.
