Kinetophobia[edit]

Another apaprently made-up phobia, with no real clinical literature. Note that kinesiophobia is a real thing, but refers to reluctance to move because of pain. Mangoe (talk) 22:50, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Mango that the sources largely negate this as a medical or clinical phenomenon. However, I think the appropriate subsequent course of action is to remove any tags denoting it as such, rather than wholesale deletion. Laatmedaar (talk) 10:18, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While sources appear to support that this exists, none of them provide anything resembling depth of coverage to merit and article about this; belongs in Wiktionary. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:57, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
delete and salt. There is indeed a term Kinesiophobia that unfortunately has "phobia" in it and is closely related - it is used in rehab medicine and physical therapy to define people's fear of movement causing them pain - something that hinders the therapy and actually prolongs their suffering. This "kinetophobia" is gobbledegook "fun with greek". Delete and salt to prevent this garbage from coming back. Jytdog (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
