Hypothesis
The study aims to determine the reliability and validity of the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire in adult women with hip disorders.
Conclusion
The Baecke Questionnaire is a useful tool for assessing multiple domains of physical activity with acceptable reliability and validity in adult women with hip disorders.
Supporting Evidence
- The Baecke Questionnaire includes 16 questions across three domains: work, sports, and non-sports leisure activity.
- The study found high intra-class correlation coefficients indicating good reliability for the Baecke Questionnaire.
- There was a significant correlation between step counts and the total score of the Baecke Questionnaire.
Takeaway
The Baecke Questionnaire helps doctors understand how active women with hip problems are, and it works well for this purpose.
Methodology
Sixty-four patients with hip disorders completed the Baecke Questionnaire and wore pedometers to measure step counts for reliability and validity assessments.
Limitations
The pedometer could not be worn during aqua exercise, and the Baecke Questionnaire referred to activities over an unspecified time period.
Participant Demographics
Participants were adult women with unilateral or bilateral hip disorders, with a mean age of 53.3 years.
