Brief summary (from the registry)
Physical exercise has a fundamental position in the chronic low back pain treatment. However, the physical activity level is often low in these patients and the adherence to the care program is not enough in the long term. The French Evaluation of the Perception of Physical Activity (EPPA) is a valid and reliable questionnaire, developed by N. Coste et al in 2020, that assesses the perceived barriers to and facilitators of physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis. To our knowledge, there is no valid and reliable instrument allowing such an assessment in chronic low back pain. The main objective of this study is to adapt the EPPA to chronic low back pain and to evaluate its psychometric properties. This validation would allow its use in current practice to adapt the care strategy, to personalize rehabilitation of each patient with chronic low back pain in order to have a better adherence to rehabilitation programs.
