Control variables: age, body mass index (BMI), pain catastrophizing (PCS), fear of movement (TSK), anxiety (PROMIS Anxiety), and depression (PROMIS Depression). Resting, movement, and change scores entered into separate regression models for pain (step 2A), fatigue (step 2B), and pain and fatigue together (step 3).
