Perceived function and physical performance are associated with pain and fatigue in women with fibromyalgia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by chronic widespread muscle pain and fatigue and associated with significant impairment in perceived function and reduced physical performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which pain and fatigue are associated with perceived function and physical performance in women with fibromyalgia.
