Lumbar range of motion in chronic low back pain is predicted by task-specific, but not by general measures of pain-related fear.
Abstract
Most studies fail to show an association between higher levels of pain-related fear and protective movement behavior in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This may be explained by the fact that only general measures of pain-related fear have been used to examine the association with movement patterns. This study explored whether task-specific, instead of general measures of pain-related fear can predict movement behavior.
