A systematic review of reliability and objective criterion-related validity of physical activity questionnaires
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-08-31)Physical inactivity is one of the four leading risk factors for global mortality. Accurate measurement of physical activity (PA) and in particular by physical activity questionnaires (PAQs) remains a challenge. The aim of ... -
Assessing day-to day reliability of the Newtest 2000 Sprint Timing system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The purpose of the present study was to assess the day-to-day test-retest reliability of the Newtest 2000 - sprint timing system. The reliability of the system was assessed by testing 52 Physical Education students. All ... -
Concurrent validity and intrarater reliability of two ultrasound-based methods for assessing patellar tendon stiffness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Assessment of tendon stiffness in vivo traditionally involves maximal muscle contractions, which can be challenging in pain populations. Alternative methods are suggested, although the clinimetric properties ... -
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 ... -
Is T2 mapping reliable in evaluation of native and repair cartilage tissue of the knee?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: To evaluate the effect of imaging plane and experience of observers on the reliability of T2 mapping of native and repair cartilage tissue of the knee. Methods: Fifteen consecutive patients from two randomised ... -
Measurement properties and performance of an eight-minute submaximal treadmill test in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A controlled study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Poor cardiorespiratory fitness is previously reported in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) measured both by maximal and submaximal exercise tests, but a submaximal exercise test with acceptable ... -
Pelvic floor muscle function after grade II tears: Surface electromyography test: Retest and differences between nulliparous and primiparous
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Vaginal birth is a risk factor for weakening of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and development of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Perineal tears may decrease PFM function. PFM tone can be assessed with surface ... -
Reliability of phase-specific outcome measurements in change-of-direction tests using a motorized resistance device
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study aims to determine test-retest reliability of phase-specific information during initial acceleration, deceleration, and re-acceleration phases of different change-of-direction (CoD) tests using a motorized ... -
Reliability of the inter-rectus distance measured by palpation: Comparison of palpation and ultrasound measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08)An increased inter-rectus distance (IRD) is a common condition in late pregnancy and in the postnatal period. The condition is difficult to assess. Palpation is the most commonly used method to assess IRD. To date there ... -
Reliability of the Norwegian version of the children's assessment of participation and enjoyment (CAPE) and preferences for activities of children (PAC)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05)This study examined test–retest reliability of the Norwegian version of Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE), and Preferences for Activities of Children (PAC) in children with and without disabilities. ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-14)Objectives: Three-dimensional gait analysis has been recommended as part of standardized gait assessment in people with spinal cord injury. The aim was to investigate inter- and intra-session reliabilities of gait kinematics ... -
Reproducibility of domain-specific physical activity over two seasons in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Knowledge of the reproducibility of domain-specific accelerometer-determined physical activity (PA) estimates are a prerequisite to conduct high-quality epidemiological studies. The aim of this study was to ... -
Single-leg squat as a tool to evaluate young athletes' frontal plane knee control
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Objective: To determine the agreement between 2D video analysis and subjective visual assessment by a physiotherapist in evaluating young athletes’ knee control, and to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability of ... -
