Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameter in both groups is the difference in energy
expenditure (ml O2 * kg LBM-1* min-1) between the FM/CLBP-group and the
matched healthy control group.
Secondary outcome
In both groups the difference in energetic cost of walking (ml O2 * kg-1 * m-1)
and the difference in walking speed (m * min-1, steps * min-1) on the 6-minute
walking test and 1-minute stair-climbing task.
Background summary
Both FM and CLBP patients often experience problems during daily physical
activity (DPA). Among this are walking, stair climbing and other energy
demanding processes. Maintaining DPA is essential to function independently and
to retain quality of life. Possibly FM and CLBP patients move in a less energy
efficient manner than healthy subjects. This could be explained because they
move less economically in order to avoid pain.
At present MSPD patients in the rehabilitation centre Blixembosch are submitted
to a physical rehabilitation treatment, a psychological rehabilitation
treatment or a combination of the two programs, dependent on the needs of the
patient. If MSPD patients have higher energy expenditure compared to healthy
persons this would have an influence on present treatment and a new program,
focussing on improving the mechanical efficiency, should be developed. In
addition to this, an outcome in this research may lead to new insights in the
underlying mechanisms of chronic diseases like FM and CLBP
Study objective
The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in
energy expenditure during the 6-minute walking test and 1-minute stair climbing
test between age, height, body mass and gender matched MSPD patients (FM or
CLBP) and healthy subjects.

Inclusion criteria
MSPD-group:
-The subjects need to be diagnosed with MSPD by their general practitioner or medical specialist. In this study it only applies to chronic back pain and fibromyalgia. The rehabilitation physician indicated that treatment was suitable to diminish the limitations resulting from this MSPD. At the moment of inclusion, the subject with MSPDs has to be under supervision in Rehabilitation Centre Blixembosch, Eindhoven or in the rehabilitation centre Hoensbroeck, Hoensbroek.;General inclusion criteria:
Age between 20-65
Ability to walk 100 meters without interruption
Exclusion criteria
-The use of beta-blockers
-Suffering from neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular or pulmonary disease making completion of the 6-minute walking test and 1-minute stair climbing test impossible
- Major psychiatric conditions
- Pregnancy
- inability to speak dutch.
- Other medical co-morbidity wich impede intensive aerobic capacity testing
