    The relationships between the activity measures of the patients obtained (A) by the first self-report (SR-1) and by observation (O1) and (B) by the first (SR-1) and the second (SR-2) self-reports. Patients (dots) with the highest activity levels are plotted in the top right part of the figure. The dashed line represents the identity line.
