  • A normalised score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.

  • * n = 43.

  • ADL, Activities of Daily Living; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient (3.1, agreement); PA, Participation in Physical Activity; QOL, Quality of Life; SDC(ind), smallest detectable change at the individual level; SDC(group), smallest detectable change at group level.
