Abstract
PurposePrimary: to analyse the time that patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) admitted to pain rehabilitation spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and compare this to the WHO recommendations. Secondary: to explore factors that might differentiate between those who do and do not meet the recommendations. Materials and methodsA Cross-sectional study embedded in secondary interdisciplinary rehabilitation of adults with CLBP. PA was measured with a tri-axial accelerometer for 1 week during admission phase. Time spent in each PA level was calculated. MVPA was also analysed in ≥10 min bouts. ResultsComplete datasets of 4–6 days recorded accelerometery of n = 46 patients were analysed. Time spent in MVPA was on average 6.0% per day. MVPA per day in ≥10-min bouts occurred on average 0.8 times per day (sd = 0.9; min-max 0–4). Percentage of patients meeting the recommended level of MVPA was 21.7% (10/46) and 84.8% (39/46) for the 2010 and 2020 recommendations, respectively. Most demographic and clinical variables did not seem to differentiate between those who met the WHO recommendations, and those who did not. ConclusionThe minority of the patients (22%) met the WHO recommended MVPA level of 2010. The more lenient recommendation of 2020 was met by 85%.
