Dear AJ
Your inquiry prompted me to do a quick search.I searched on Pubmed, the
internet based version of Medline. It is at
http://www4.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/. I used 'Tegner Activity Scale' as my
keyword, and came up with 28 hits.
The original article seems to be Tegner Y, Lysholm J. Rating systems in the
evaluation of knee ligament injuries.Clin Orthop. 1985 Sep;(198):43-9.
Other articles cited either used the scale in the research, or were
comparing and contrasting the utiliy of different scoring mechanisms.
If you double click on the words 'related articles', which is on the right
hand side of the screen of every entry, you will be taken to even more
potentially useful references.
You haven't said what patient population you are interested in. There are
many different sorts of measures available.
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in the UK has developed a listing of
some 200 outcome measures that physios might be interested in. The CSP isn't
recommending those measures included. It is at www.nice.org.uk.
· Click on 'databases' (top, centre icon).
· Click 'search online'
· Search For: put 'csp' and a key word e.g. 'knee'
· Search Categories: tick - 'Title', 'Abstract', 'Keywords'.
· Database: tick - 'Bibliography'
· Date: 'until' '2000'
· Results: tick 'Simple'
· When you see a measure you are interested in, double click on the 'Title'
and the whole record will be expanded.
I hope this helps your project.
Yours

Subject: Tegner Activity Scale
Hi all
I am currently in the middle of a research project and we are exploring how
to analyze a questionnaire which queries the exercise activity levels of
the individual.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me about the Tegner Activity
Scale.
Or of any other scale which could be used to score the levels of activities
of an individual for data analysis.
Thanks
AJ
