Group 2 acted as a control group, receiving no intervention and continuing their usual daily activities of life over the same period. All patients' kinesiophobia, pain and quality of life level and functional status were re-assessed at the end of 6 weeks. RESULTS: According to the measurements exercise group patients' kinesiophobia, pain decreased, functional status and quality of life statistically improved (p < 0,05).
