What reason is given for the difficulty in differentiating work-related from non–work-related back problems?

  1. The complexity of the back's anatomy

  2. Lack of specific tests or procedures

  3. Patient's inability to recall specific incidents

  4. Lack of research on the topic

The correct answer is: Lack of specific tests or procedures

One reason for the difficulty in differentiating work-related from non-work-related back problems is the lack of specific tests or procedures. This means that there are not enough consistent or reliable ways to determine if a back problem is specifically caused by work and not another factor. This makes it challenging to accurately diagnose and treat work-related back issues. The other options, such as the complexity of the back's anatomy, patient's inability to recall specific incidents, and lack of research on the topic, are not the primary barrier to differentiation.
