Brief Summary
In industrialized countries, low back pain can be considered a priority health issue. Some studies define it as one of the leading causes of disability in people under 45, or the leading cause of musculoskeletal disorders, with a prevalence of 26.9%. Chronic forms account for less than 10% of acute episodes, but represent around 85% of costs. It has been recognized that rest and physical inactivity are not beneficial in the treatment of low back pain, and worse, increase the risk of chronicity. Functional Restoration of the Spine (FRS) programs have been introduced in rehabilitation centers, and have proved to be effective both physically and psycho-socially. Patients generally adhere well to this type of program during in-center treatment. The effects obtained tend to fade rapidly on discharge, due to a lack of adherence to what can be offered conventionally (exercise sheets, oral advice). The development of connected tools (smartphones, tablets, etc.) could be a lever in this respect, as it would enable better patient support. In 2022, 84% of the population will own a smartphone. The content offered would be of higher quality, and would enable regular remote monitoring of the patient. The effects of the initial intensive treatment would be maintained by this new interactive, fun tool.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Major patients * Chronic non-specific low-back pain. * Diagnosis confirmed according to HAS definition (i.e. pain located between the thoraco-lumbar hinge and the lower gluteal fold. It may be associated with radiculalgia corresponding to pain in one or both lower limbs at the level of one or more dermatomes). Patients included in the study must have given written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients not meeting HAS diagnostic criteria * Patients with comprehension difficulties (making it impossible to fill in questionnaires) * Patients with medical contraindications to physical exercise * Patients under guardianship, curatorship or safeguard of justice. * Patients without a smartphone
