Hi Gareth,

it's indeed challenging to get the right measure for any study. I have done some extensive searches to find a tool for older adults. Well, I have looked into ModBaecke (Baecke) and am kind of certain that you can use the questionnaire because it does not really look at work activities anyway. Well, I think your question is very specific. Thus, I would think that it might be useful to even think of another tool. The Baecke was not really widely applied.

I have found a great review on physical activity questionnaires in children, adults and older adults. You can check reliability and validity and then decide what tool works best for you.

I'm also wondering what type of tool or questionnaire would be appropriate to use for assessing physical activity level of individuals with CLBP living in rural community considering majority of these individuals do not work and neither engage in sporting activities.
