The A/Prof Mark Elkins is a collaborator of 3 projects. Due to the word limit, I have included below the abstract related to 2 projects only.Abstract Project 1: Interventions which include physical activity promotion as the core component for the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain have shown to be effective in reducing pain and disability in these patients. Nevertheless, rec…
The main aim of this proposal is to consolidate and expand research cooperation between the University of Sydney and the São Paulo State University by bringing the expertise of high calibre researchers in the field of Genetics, physical activity, and low back pain. Dr Paulo Ferreira and Dr Milena Simic from the University of Sydney are experts in the field of genetics and the use of techn…
In the field of low back pain (LBP), physical deconditioning has long been hypothesized to compromise recovery. However, recent evidence from a longitudinal study supports the hypothesis that being physically active is a prognostic factor, which has a positive influence on the prognosis of chronic LBP. However, it is unclear whether physical activity domains have a similar influence on ch…
Consumers of healthcare are increasingly searching online for evidence about interventions in physical therapy. However, the internet contains evidence of highly variable quality, which can increase the demand for treatments with poor or no evidence at all. It is necessary, then, that scientific reports have summaries written for the lay public, with plain language about clinical results.…
Studies to help clarify the role of different domains of physical activity can help in a better understanding of the prognosis of chronic non-specific low back pain, helping clinicians and patients better understand the disease process and to predict more accurately the clinical outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of different domains of physical activity, measur…
The number of questionnaires available measuring the level of physical activity has increased considerably over the past decades. Consequently, the choice of which questionnaire use has become a challenge. In Brazil, this challenge is even greater due to the need of a rigorous translation process and cultural adaptation. The present study is a systematic review evaluating the procedures f…

In the field of chronic musculoskeletal pain, there is strong evidence that pain-related cognitive and behavioral responses have a major role in the development and maintenance of chronic or persistent symptoms. Fear of movement or (re)injury, also referred as kinesiophobia, is related to the more specific fear that physical activity will cause (re)injury. Fear of movement has shown to be…
Background The assumption patients with low back pain (LBP) decrease their level of physical activity due to pain has been questioned. Studies with twins may help to clarify the role of physical deconditioning in patients with LBP because of the possibility of controlling for possible genetic confounding. To investigate the role of physical activity levels in back pain research, objective…
