Six-Month Outcomes for Previously Reported FABQ Cut-off Scores

6-Month Variable	FABQPA >14	FABQPA ≤14	P Value^*
ODQ score	17.1 (16.3)	12.1 (15.8)	.112
ODQ change	25.1 (15.5)	24.6 (18.6)	.895
Not improved	n = 11	n = 4	.623
Improved	n = 69	n = 34

6-Month Variable	FABQW >29	FABQW ≤29	P Value^*
ODQ score	26.9 (21.5)	13.9 (14.8)	.003
ODQ change	20.1 (22.0)	25.5 (16.9)	.270
Not improved	n = 4	n = 11	.082
Improved	n = 11	n = 92

Abbreviations: FABQPA, Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire physical activity scale; FABQW, Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire work scale; improved, indicates equal to or greater than 1 MCID change in ODQ scores; not improved, indicates less than 1 MCID change in ODQ scores; ODQ, Oswestry Disability Questionnaire.

Reported P values are from independent t tests for ODQ raw and change scores and chi-square for the MCID analysis.
