A novel approach to solve the “Missing marker problem” in marker-based motion analysis that exploits the segment coordination patterns in multi-limb motion data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-30)Marker-based human motion analysis is an important tool in clinical research and in many practical applications. Missing marker information caused by occlusions or a marker falling off is a common problem impairing data ... -
A pedometer-based walking intervention in 45- to 75-year-olds, with and without practice nurse support: The PACE-UP three-arm cluster RCT
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
A primary care nurse-delivered walking intervention in older adults: PACE (pedometer accelerometer consultation evaluation)-lift cluster randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-17)Background: Brisk walking in older people can increase step-counts and moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in ≥10-minute bouts, as advised in World Health Organization guidelines. Previous interventions ... -
Association of accelerometer-derived step volume and intensity with hospitalizations and mortality in older adults: A prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: To examine the associations of accelerometer-derived steps volume and intensity with hospitalizations and all-cause mortality in older adults. Methods: This prospective cohort study involved 768 community-dwelling ... -
Cross sectional analysis of the association between mode of school transportation and physical fitness in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-07-17)Objective: To investigate the associations between body composition, cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in relation to travel mode to school in children and adolescents. Method: Children and adolescents from 40 ... -
Development of a therapeutic exercise program for patients with osteoarthritis of the hip
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-02-25)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: No detailed exercise programs specifically for patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) have been described in the literature. This lack of data creates a gap between the recommendation that people ... -
Effect of a prenatal lifestyle intervention on physical activity level in late pregnancy and the first year postpartum.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Despite documented health benefits for mother and baby, physical activity (PA)-level tends to decline in pregnancy. Overweight/obese and physically inactive women are two selected groups at increased risk of ... -
Effect of a primary care walking intervention with and without nurse support on physical activity levels in 45- to 75-year-olds: The pedometer and consultation evaluation (PACE-UP) cluster randomised clinical trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-03)Pedometers can increase walking and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels, but their effectiveness with or without support has not been rigorously evaluated. We assessed the effectiveness of a pedometer-based ... -
Effect of pedometer-based walking interventions on long-term health outcomes: Prospective 4-year follow-up of two randomised controlled trials using routine primary care data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Data are lacking from physical activity (PA) trials with long-term follow-up of both objectively measured PA levels and robust health outcomes. Two primary care 12-week pedometer-based walking interventions in ... -
Establishing the convergent validity of the travel habit questions in the health behavior in school-aged children questionnaire by quantifying active travel in Norwegian adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Active travel (cycling or walking to school) can be a substantial part of adolescents' daily physical activity. Research on transport activities primarily relies on self-reported indices of travel mode and ... -
Evaluation of reliability and validity of the General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ) in 60–74 year old primary care patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-02)BACKGROUND: GPPAQ (General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire) is a self-assessment physical activity questionnaire widely used in primary care. Reliability and validity data in older people are lacking. The ... -
Filtering affects the calculation of the largest Lyapunov exponent
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The calculation of the largest Lyapunov exponent (LyE) requires the reconstruction of the time series in an N-dimensional state space. For this, the time delay (Tau) and embedding dimension (EmD) are estimated using the ... -
Kinematic adaptations to a variable stiffness shoe: mechanisms for reducing joint loading
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A recently described variable-stiffness shoe has been shown to reduce the adduction moment and pain in patients with medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis. The mechanism associated with how this device modifies overall ... -
Measuring change in trials of physical activity interventions: A comparison of self-report questionnaire and accelerometry within the PACE-UP trial 11 Medical and Health Sciences 1117 Public Health and Health Services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Few trials have compared estimates of change in physical activity (PA) levels using self-reported and objective PA measures when evaluating trial outcomes. The PACE-UP trial offered the opportunity to assess ... -
Novel Methods for Reporting of Exercise Dose and Adherence: An Exploratory Analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore whether methods adapted from oncology pharmacological trials have utility in reporting adherence (tolerability) of exercise treatment in cancer. Methods: Using a retrospective ... -
Physical activity levels in adults and elderly from triaxial and uniaxial accelerometry: The Tromsø Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Surveillance of physical activity at the population level increases the knowledge on levels and trends of physical activity, which may support public health initiatives to promote physical activity. Physical ... -
Physical activity levels in adults and older adults 3–4 years after pedometer-based walking interventions: Long-term follow-up of participants from two randomised controlled trials in UK primary care
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Physical inactivity is an important cause of noncommunicable diseases. Interventions can increase short-term physical activity (PA), but health benefits require maintenance. Few interventions have evaluated PA ... -
Predicting missing marker trajectories in human motion data using marker intercorrelations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-31)Missing information in motion capture data caused by occlusion or detachment of markers is a common problem that is difficult to avoid entirely. The aim of this study was to develop and test an algorithm for reconstruction ... -
