Sammendrag
Purpose. Activity related pain may be a barrier to rehabilitation in patients with chronic
musculoskeletal disorders. This study investigated patients’ reports of increased pain
during activity, and the association between such pain and psychological factors and pain
variables.
Method. Questionnaires from 232 adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain measured
pain intensity, spread of pain and pain duration. Pain during activity was assessed both on
a 11 point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and operationalized as a dichotomous measure,
where responders defined if they experienced pain during general activity and exercise.
Psychological factors were measured by the Hopkins Symptom Check List 25, the Tampa
Scale for Kinesiophobia and a subscale of the Arthritis Self – Efficacy Scale. Multiple
and logistic regression was used to analyse associations between increased pain during
activity and associated variables.
Results. Increased pain during activity was reported by 69 % of participants. Fear of
movement was a significant factor for reporting increased pain during activity, both
general activity and exercise, also in a subsample with low psychological distress. Other
significant factors were spread of pain and a low sense of self efficacy.
Conclusion. Patients with high fear of movement, large spread of pain and low self
efficacy were more likely to report increased pain during activity even in the absence of
psychological distress.
