Impact of Leisure Activities on Quality of Life in Low Back Pain

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Chronic Low Back Pain

In brief

Chronic low back negatively impacts upon physical and mental quality of life. The relationship between pain, physical function and physical activity levels has been largely studied in low back pain. However the impact of leisure activities on the quality of life of patients with low back pain is unknown. In other patient populations, a high engagement with leisure activities has been associated with better health-related quality of life.
