The symptoms are mainly vertigo and dizziness, which significantly affect kinesiophobia, quality of life, and balance.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Aim<\/jats:bold>\n                    : The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia, quality of life, and balance in patients with PVDs.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Materials and methods<\/jats:bold>\n                    : The study\u2019s sample population comprised 35 subjects, ranging in age from 30 to 80 years, with a standard deviation of 13.36 years. These subjects were diagnosed with PVDs. The assessment of kinesiophobia employed the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-GR), while the evaluation of quality of life utilized the EuroQol (EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS) scale. The balance of the patient was evaluated using Romberg\u2019s test. Spearman\u2019s r correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the measured variables.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                    : EQ-VAS showed a moderate statistically significant positive correlation with EQ-5D-5L (r=0.51,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt;0.01). No statistically significant correlation was observed between kinesiophobia, quality of life, and balance.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                    : While a significant relationship was found between EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L, it is plausible that different factors contributed to the non-statistically significant correlation between the variables of kinesiophobia, balance, and quality of life in patients with PVDs. Further studies are needed to ascertain the relationship between the above variables to develop effective and individualized rehabilitation programs for patients with PVDs.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/folmed.67.e154231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,27]],"date-time":"2025-10-27T14:51:27Z","timestamp":1761576687000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Examining the relationship between kinesiophobia, quality of life and balance in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Paraskevi","family":"Kollia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Peloponnese, Sparta, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Konstantina","family":"Agathou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Peloponnese, Sparta, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Nikitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Hippocrateion General Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Margarita","family":"Charalambopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Red Cross Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2746-7121","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Chytas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Peloponnese, Sparta, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Kyriakidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Peloponnese, Sparta, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Christakou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Peloponnese, Sparta, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,30]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"154231_B1","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD005397.pub4"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"154231_B2","DOI":"10.1097\/WCO.0b013e32835c5fd4"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"154231_B3","DOI":"10.3238\/arztebl.2020.0300"},{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"4.
