Decreased Mood Correlated with Decreased Exercise Adherence and Increased Pain

Background: A home exercise program is an important part of recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and can improve pain, quality life, self-efficacy. However, there are often challenges with patient adherence measuring compliance. Mood pain have a positive negative affect on patient’s performance. Digital health, such as Recupe, provides opportunity to examine the relationship between mood, outside clinic.
 Methods: total 864 subjects were retrospectively analyzed assess mood reps completed per session, time spent exercising level. was measured using three categories: “Happy,” “Neutral,” “Sad.” Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS) 0-10.
 Results: The subject population included 331 males, 359 females, 174 not stated. average session 218.2 (130.0) for “Happy” group, 163.3 (101.4) “Neutral” 140.0 (95.7) “Sad” group p-values <0.0001 all groups. 29.54 minutes (24.63) 21.80 (18.30) 22.31 (21.23) Lastly, level each 1.93 (1.69) 4.4 (1.82) 6.1 (2.00) groups.
 Conclusion: There significant correlation reported levels, patients’ programs. Patients who report higher simultaneously more depressed moods demonstrate decreased times repetition counts. Yet, while this clear, causation factor known requires research. Clinicians should look observe pattern in patients possibly recovery.
