Self-reported physical function is strongly related to pain behavior and pain interference and weakly related to physical capacity in people with chronic low back pain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inclusion of self-reported and capacity-based measures may help to further elucidate the interactive link between how people think and move.

Objective

To characterize the relationship between self-reported factors of physical function and pain with objective physical capacity measures.

Design

Cross-sectional study of 328 adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Method

Spearman correlations assessed the relationship between pairs of measures. Multiple linear regression models assessed the association between self-reported measures of physical function and the grouping of physical capacity measures. Self-reported measures included Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), PROMIS Physical Function, Pain Behavior, and Pain Interference; Fear-Avoida
