Abstract: In low back pain (LBP), the recovery of the nociceptive pain occurs within a few weeks. Sometimes, the pain persists beyond the expected healing time (1). This transition from acute to persistent MSP is poorly understood and may be related to how a person engages in daily activities. Activity patterns were defined as avoidance, overactivity, and pacing (2). Each describes a consistent behavior that shapes how individuals organize their occupations. These patterns play a relevant role in developing and maintaining chronic pain (3). This investigation aimed to observe avoidance and overactivity behavior in participants with acute LBP over one year and explore the association with pain persistence. Conclusion: Association confirmed between baseline overactivity and state anxiety with pain intensity over time Maintaining the usual activities, thus overactivity, combined with feelings of distress, may result in persistent LBP. Screening of activity patterns in acute LBP recommended Consider a multidimensional approach including the physical and psychological characteristics of patients with LBP and their behavior in everyday life.
