Pain is one of the most researched topics in the field of health and well-being. According to the definition of the International Association for the Study of Pain (Raja et al., 2020), pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional perception associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Kinesiologists, as experts in movement and late-stage rehabilitation, are often involved in the persistant pain of individuals in our work. Pain is also the reason people seek help and guidance from us. Knowledge and understanding of this type of topic is therefore crucial.
The aim of the following work was to approximate the mechanisms of both acute and persistant musculo-sceletal pain and thereby raise the level of understanding of it. The focus was, on the basis of research, to examine psychological factors that are often strongly related to persistant pain and to explain the importance of the biopsychosocial model in this area.
The main goal was the translation of the questionnaires into Slovenian, which in practice will contribute to a better anamnesis of the individual. A better anamnesis consequently means better treatment of the individual and thus more effective rehabilitation. We translated the three questionnaires in the assignment. Each questionnaire is followed by explanations of the results and their usefulness.
