“…4,5 Support was found in these studies for the construct validity, reliability and criterion validity of the PASIPD. 4,5 However, the PASIPD has not yet been evaluated in specific disability groups such as people with SCI. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the PASIPD in people with SCI.…”

Study design: Cross-sectional study. Objectives: To evaluate the physical activity scale for individuals with physical disabilities (PASIPD) in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Eight Dutch rehabilitation centers with a specialized SCI unit. Methods: The PASIPD was examined by comparing group scores of people with different personal (age, gender and body mass index) and lesion characteristics (level (paraplegia/tetraplegia), completeness, time since injury (TSI)) in 139 persons with SCI 1 year after discharge from in-patient rehabilitation. Relationships between PASIPD scores and measures of activities (wheelchair skills, Utrecht Activity List, mobility range and social behavior subscales of the SIP68) and fitness (peak oxygen uptake, peak power output and muscular strength) were determined. Results: Persons with tetraplegia had significantly lower PASIPD scores than those with paraplegia (Po0.02). Persons with longer TSI had lower PASIPD scores than persons with shorter TSI (Po0.03). PASIPD scores showed moderate correlations with activities (0.36-0.51, Po0.01) and weak-tomoderate correlations with fitness parameters (0.25-0.36, Po0.05). Conclusion: In a fairly homogeneous group of persons with SCI, 1 year after in-patient rehabilitation, the PASIPD showed weak-to-moderate relationships with activity and fitness parameters. There seems to be a limited association between self-reported activity level and fitness in people with SCI.

“…The average number of hours per day was derived from the time estimates provided in the PASIPD. 10 For this secondary analysis, we performed regression modeling as well as compared participation in different types of activities between those participants with normal glucose metabolism (2-h plasma glucose o7.8 mmol l -1 ), and those with abnormal glucose metabolism (2-h plasma glucose X7.8 mmol l -1 ) using Mann-Whitney U-tests.…”

“…Physical activity level was determined using the physical activity scale for individuals with physical disabilities (PASIPD). 10 The PASIPD examines both planned and incidental activity, level of intensity and work-and household-related tasks over the past 7 days. The number of days and the length of time the person was involved in each type of activity in the past week were used to calculate a metabolic equivalent, expressed as MET-hours day -1 .…”

Glucose tolerance and physical activity level in people with spinal cord injury

Study design: Cross-sectional, observational study. Objectives: To evaluate the associations of physical activity and neurological lesion level with glucose tolerance in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: New South Wales, Australia. Methods: Twenty-five people (5 women, 20 men) with SCI (46 months post-injury) aged between 18 and 65 years were recruited. Exclusion criteria included known coronary heart disease, stroke or diabetes. Participants underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. Fasting and 2-h plasma glucose concentrations were classified according to the World Health Organization categories of glycemia. Participants also completed the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities and mean MET-hours day À1 was calculated. Associations with the 2-h plasma glucose concentration were calculated through multiple and stepwise regressions. Results: Participants presented with complete or incomplete tetraplegia (n ¼ 11 TETRA) or complete or incomplete paraplegia (n ¼ 14 PARA) with neurological lesion levels ranging from C3/4 to T12. Mean 2-h plasma glucose was 7.13 ± 2.32 mmol l À1 . Nine participants had disordered glycemia (n ¼ 6 TETRA; n ¼ 3 PARA) and the remaining participants had normal glucose tolerance. Those participants with normal glucose tolerance participated in more moderate-vigorous and strength exercise and undertook more non-exercise-related mobility than those with disordered glycemia. Physical activity and age, but not lesion level were independent determinants of 2-h plasma glucose concentration (r ¼ 0.683, P ¼ 0.001), explaining 47% of the variance. Conclusion: Physical activity level is independently associated with glucose tolerance in people with SCI. Non-exercise activity may also be important for maintaining normal glycemia.
