OBJECTIVE: Do physical findings that are used to indicate location and extent of tissue damage and a measure of the severity of @entity158 predict subsequent reports of @entity158 and of disability? METHODOLOGY: A standardized literature search identified one systematic review and 12 observational studies (9 low back @entity158 , and 1 @entity923 ) to provide evidence about these questions. RESULTS: Most studies were of specific populations. These studies were useful studies of predictors, but they have limited generalizability. Exclusions and loss of subjects at follow-up in some studies also limited generalizability. Conclusions were made cautiously, because some factors with statistical correlations with @entity1118 were not plausible predictors. CONCLUSIONS: The studies provide moderate evidence (level 2) that reports of the intensity of @entity158 in @entity85 predict subsequent reports of @entity158 . There is limited evidence (level 3) that the location and extent of @entity158 and poor functional activity outcomes. There is moderate evidence (level 2) that physical symptoms and signs cannot be considered individual predictors of @entity1118 disability as measured by participation outcomes. Instead, in the transition from subacute to @entity1118 disability, functional disability and @entity458 play a more important role than @entity158 intensity.
