Category: Evaluative Article reviewed Shore, B., Allar, B., Miller, P., Matheney, T., Snyder, B. and Fragala-Pinkham, M. (2017). Evaluating the Discriminant Validity of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory: Computer Adaptive Test in Children With Cerebral Palsy. Physical Therapy, 97(6), pp.669-676. Purpose: The aim was to investigate the discriminant validity of the PEDI-CAT according to GMFCS and MACS levels in a group of children/adolescents with Cerebral Palsy. Discriminant validity determines whether two measures that should not be related are actually not related. Study Population: 101 total participants [54 boys, 47 girls] of a convenience sample from a multi-discipline CP clinic at a tertiary-level pediatric children’s hospital; Mean age was 11 years, 11…

Differences in evaluation of functional skills of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) between normally developing children and children with cerebral palsy. Japanese Journal of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Science. 2017;8:37-43. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jjcrs/8/0/8_37/_pdf/-char/en. Accessed March 4, 2018. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the functional skills of children with CP and then compare the PEDI scoring of children with CP to the scores of children without disability to determine if differences are present in individuals with varying levels of disability due to CP. Population: The study included 602 Japanese children with CP, 351 males and…

Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) and Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS): Validity and Responsiveness. Phys Ther (2015) 95 (11): 1559 – 1568. The article aims to look at the concurrent validity of the PEDI-CAT (which is the online version of the PEDI outcome measure) by comparing the mobility domain of the test to the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS). The researchers noted that previous studies (though limited) have validated the psychometric properties of the test in a general sense, there has been no research up to this point that has looked at more age specific properties….

No new additions or changes to the PEDI-CAT since previous review. Article/Reference: Kramer J, Liljenquist K, Coster W. Validity, reliability and usability of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-Computer Adaptive Test for children and young people with autism. Dev Med Child Neurol. 2016 March; 58(3): 255–261. The purpose of this research article had three main goals: to study the test-retest reliability of the PEDI-CAT for Autism, to establish the concurrent validity of the PEDI-CAT (ASD) with the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS-II), and to look into the parent’s perceptions of the PEDI-CAT (ASD) and its usability. The three parts of the study focused on children diagnosed with Autism or Asperger disorder between 10 and 18. A total of 39 children and their parents participated in the study. Of these participants, 34 were male, 17 were diagnosed with ASD while 13 were diagnosed with Asperger’s and the remaining 9 were…
