Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory: Its Application to Children With Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy
چکیده انگلیسی

PurposeA standardized method of measurement of self-care ability in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) has not been universally adopted. A study was conducted to determine if the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) was able to discriminate between the self-care ability of children with OBPP and their peers and distinguish between those with differing severities of OBPP.MethodsThe PEDI self-care domain results for 45 children with OBPP (30 without hand impairment, 15 with hand impairment) were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsThe group performance of children without hand impairment was within 1 SD above the mean. The group performance of children with hand impairment was more than 2 SDs below the mean. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant.ConclusionsIn this study children without hand impairment did not have a self-care activity limitation as measured by the PEDI. A deficit in self-care ability was found in those with hand impairment. The PEDI was able to differentiate between the performances of reported self-care activities of children with differing severities of OBPP; however, it was unable to discriminate between those without hand impairment and their peers.Type of study/level of evidenceDiagnostic, Level II.
