Reliability of the PASE in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis
Reliability of the PASE in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis
The test-retest reliability of the total PASE score in patients with hip OA was found to be moderate, based on an acceptable ICC2.1, but the large SEM, SDC and LoA indicate large measurement errors. The construct validity of the total PASE score was found to be poor when compared to the Actigraph GT1M accelerometer.
These findings suggest that PASE is not sufficient for assessing PA levels and intensity in patients with hip OA. Accelerometers provide a more precise tool of assessing amount and intensity of PA, and should preferably be included if feasible in studies where these dimensions are considered important.
