We analyzed patients’ actual activity level with low back pain using a wristwatch-shaped wearable trackers to find the correlation between the low back pain function and social life domains of the JOABPEQ and negatively correlated with the low back pain VAS, as well as a significantly shorter sleep time. Besides, the effect of lumbar spine surgery on activity level showed a tendency for activity level to decrease immediately after surgery and then to improve to show a different tendency compared with the traditional evaluation suggesting the limitations of conventional evaluation.
