(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-20)Objective: To determine if exercise therapy is superior to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for knee function in middle aged patients with degenerative meniscal tears. Design: Randomised controlled superiority ... -
Functional tests should be accentuated more in the decision
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-04-22)A high pre-injury activity level, the desire of the patient to continue pivoting sports and fear of future give-way episodes are considered the most significant factors affecting the decision to perform anterior cruciate ... -
Global physical activity levels: surveillance progress, pitfalls, and prospects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-07-18)To implement effective non-communicable disease prevention programmes, policy makers need data for physical activity levels and trends. In this report, we describe physical activity levels worldwide with data for adults ... -
Heritability of objectively assessed daily physical activity and sedentary behavior
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-18)Background: Twin and family studies that estimated the heritability of daily physical activity have been limited by poor measurement quality and a small sample size. Objective: We examined the heritability of daily ... -
