Is the quantified lumbar flexion-relaxation phenomenon a useful measurement of improvement in a functional restoration program?
A majority of patients in an interdisciplinary functional restoration program failed to demonstrate either the QLFRP or normal ROM on admission to the program.

Both QLFRP and ROM measures were responsive to relevant self-report scales.
