“…In comparison to the direct methods, indirect measurements of physical activities, carried out via instruments such as questionnaires, are inexpensive, easy to access, timesaving, and can be used effectively in the studies that require data collection from a large number of subjects (7, 11). …”

BackgroundBaecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire (BHPAQ) has widely been employed in clinical and laboratorial studies as a tool for measuring subjects' physical activities. But, the reliability and validity of this questionnaire have not been investigated among Persian speakers.ObjectivesTherefore, the aim of the current study was examining the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the BHPAQ in healthy Persian adults.Materials and MethodsAfter following the process of forward-backward translation, 32 subjects were invited to fill out the Persian version of the questionnaire in two independent sessions (3 - 7 days after the first session) in order to determine the reliability index. Also, the validity of the questionnaire was assessed through concurrent validity by 126 subjects (66 males and 60 females) answering both the Baecke and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).ResultsAn acceptable level of intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC of work score = 0.95, sport score = 0.93, and leisure score = 0.77) was achieved for the Persian Baecke questionnaire. Correlations between Persian Baecke and IPAQ with and without the score for sitting position were found to be 0.19 and 0.36, respectively.ConclusionsThe Persian version of the BHPAQ is a reliable and valid instrument that can be used to measure the level of habitual functional activities in Persian-speaking subjects.

“…Four items were selected for the final version of the MARS after interviewing a group of 50 patients with knee disorders, thus suggesting that the MARS has content validity. In terms of reliability, the ICCs for two administrations of the MARS are reported to range between 0.81 and 0.97, thus suggesting acceptable test–retest reliability 61 62. The duration between testing and retesting ranged from 2 to 7 days.…”

“…All subjects were asked to sign an inform consent regarding their voluntarily participation in the study and to complete the published Farsi version of the KOOS, IKDC, and Tegner activity scale questionnaires (17-19) as standard questionnaires for evaluating functional activities. The main index for allocating the patients into coper and noncoper groups was their ability to return to sports with their pre-injury level.…”

“…The electrodes were placed based on the SENIAM’s (Surface Electromyography for the Non-Invasive Assessment of Muscles) recommendations (19). The sites of the electrodes place on the skin were cleaned and the electrodes of an 8-channel portable EMG system (Biometrics Data Log, Oxford Ltd, UK) were attached to the skin.…”

Background:Daily Increased rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in athletes calls for more investigation in these patients to differentiate copers from noncoper ACL-deficient (ACLD) knees as soon as possible.Objectives:The current study aims to introduce a new electromyographic protocol, named voluntary response index (VRI), that might help to categorize and differentiate patients with ACLD knee from others in the early stage.Materials and Methods:Thirty-four patients with ACLD knee were allocated into two equal groups, namely, coper and noncoper groups, based upon their ability to return to sport during the preceding six months. The patients with ACLD knee were asked to perform a jump on a force platform from a 75-cm distance.Results:The results were compared with 17 matched healthy participants. The electromyographic disposable electrodes were attached to the seven muscles of the lower extremity of the participants before performing the test. The outcome measures were the magnitude and similarity index of the VRI, time to stop, vertical ground reaction force, the displacement of the center of pressure’s (COP) path line length, and the participants’ Tegner, IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) as well as KOOS (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) questionnaires scores. Using the appropriate statistical analysis, the electromyographic and force plate data were compared among the three groups. All efforts went into determining whether an association exists between the findings of each group and the participants’ functional questionnaires scores.Conclusions:The results of this study would be helpful in objectively differentiating the patients with ACLD knee into coper and noncoper groups to receive appropriate treatments before their return to the competitions.

Reliability and validity of the Tegner and Marx activity rating scales in Iranian patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury

Abstract: The Persian version of Tegner and Marx seems to be suitable for Iranian patients with ACL injury. Future studies are needed to investigate the psychometric properties of these questionnaires for Iranian patients with different knee problems.
