Kinesiophobia tests
Patients were assessed using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-17), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and Oxford Knee score (OKS). Ten minutes cycling with light resistance on a stationary bike was used for warm up before the physical tests. Quadriceps and hamstring muscle isokinetic strength was assessed at 60°/sec and 180°/sec using a Humac Norm Isokinetic dynamometer (Stoughton, United States). Functional performance was tested with the single-leg hop test for distance and the Y-balance test for anterior reach. The non-operated leg was tested first. All physical tests were supervised by the same specialized physiotherapists.
