Predictors of Sustained Response to Functional Restoration in a Military Population.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to determine if improvement in pain impact and functional performance following a functional restoration (FR) program was sustained up to 6 months posttreatment and to identify predictors of sustained improvement.

Materials and methods

Secondary analysis of data collected during randomized clinical trial. Study population included 108 US active duty service members who completed an FR program, as well as 3- and/or 6-month follow-up assessments. Primary outcome measure was the NIH Research Task Force (pain) impact score (PIS). Secondary outcome was a composite functional performance measure of treadmill, lifting, and carrying tolerances. Variables analyzed to determine their predictive value included demographics; treatment hours; me
