Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of this work is to validate in French the questionnaire EARS, adapted to chronic low back pain.
Physical exercise is often recognized as necessary for primary and secondary prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. This is particularly true of chronic low back pain. It is therefore of paramount importance that compliance with such treatment be assessed to allow for readjustments, as well as drug treatment. No gold standard6-7 measured patient adherence to exercise programs until the creation of the EARS in 2016 by E.Godfrey and his team (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale, literally "joining physical exercise programs")
EARS is a reliable and validated psychometric assessment questionnaire that assesses adherence to prescribed physical exercise in chronic low back pain.
Detailed Description
Self-management of the patient to perform these exercises involves good collaboration with the care prescriber, leaving patients to manage and monitor their health. Long-term adherence to care programs, including physical exercise, is paramount for these patients in order to maintain a beneficial long-term effect, which is the case in non-specific chronic low back pain. However, evidence shows that compliance levels following a physical exercise prescription are low, limiting the benefits this could bring. Currently, EARS is validated for chronic low back pain in its English version. To our knowledge and to the knowledge of the questionnaire's author, E.Godfrey, there are no other studies that have examined the validation of EARS in the French language for chronic low back pain. Patients will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires after completing the non-opposition form. The management of non-specific chronic low back pain also requires evaluation through questionnaires, in accordance with the usual practices of the services participating in the study. No intervention will be taken.
