This study examined the relationships between physical disability, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia in 200 stroke survivors attending rehabilitation in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional design was used, and participants completed the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, Falls Efficacy Scale\u2013International, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-17. Data were presented as median and interquartile range, with Spearman\u2019s rank correlation for analysis. Disability was strongly associated with fear of falling (\u03c1 = 0.652,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001) and weakly with kinesiophobia (\u03c1 = 0.254,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001). Fear of falling and kinesiophobia were also weakly related (\u03c1 = 0.350,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001). Age >70\u00a0years was associated with higher kinesiophobia (\u03b2 = 3.35, 95% CI 0.13 to 6.57,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.042). Fear-related barriers may enhance rehabilitation outcomes.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/20551029261480929","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,25]],"date-time":"2026-08-25T14:40:23Z","timestamp":1787668823000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling in patients suffering from stroke leading to physical disability in selected rehabilitation center of Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Arpon Kumar","family":"Paul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Movement Solution BD"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9473-7970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Polok","family":"Halder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jashore University of Science & Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md.
