Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive study. was to identify variables that were significantly related to rehabilitation outcome with a population of Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) individuals. Two samples of CLBP individuals were compared. One sample consisted of 35 successfully rehabilitated persons, and the other consisted of 35 nonrehabilitated persons. Results indicate that the variables of age, marital status, length of time on job where injured, and time from injury to referral were not significantly related to rehabilitation outcome. The variables of sex, education, SSDI status, number of surgeries, workers' compensation settlement status, and the presence of a psychiatric condition were all significantly related to rehabilitation outcome.
