In recent studies, it has been shown that people may have avoidance of movement due to pain. However, there is no scale that evaluates avoidance of movement due to pain in musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study is to develop a scale to measure how much pain-related movement and activity is avoided in individuals with musculoskeletal pain, and to examine the results of its clinical application.
