Reliability and Validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Adapted to Include Adults With Physical Disability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with physical disabilities (PWD) participate in less physical activity than people without physical disabilities (PWoD), which increases the risk for several negative health consequences. Comparing physical activity between PWD and PWoD remains a challenge since no reliable and valid survey exists to measure physical activity in both populations. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was adapted to be inclusive of PWD using a recently developed survey adaption framework; however, the adapted IPAQ has not been assessed for reliability and validity. The objective of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the adapted IPAQ.

Methods

To assess test-retest reliability, the adapted IPAQ was completed twice within a 72-hour perio
