Abstract
Purpose: The PEDI-CAT mobility domain (PEDI-mob) is a parent reported measure of mobility for children, with normative data for ages birth to 7.5 years. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the PEDI-mob and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 and -88 and GMFCS levels.
Methods: Fifty-seven children (2-8 years of age) participated. Parent report and motor assessment were collected at the same session. A Pearson product-moment correlation was calculated for PEDI-mob and GMFM-66 scores, and an ANOVA was used to analyze PEDI-mob across GMFCS levels.
Results: Large, statistically significant correlation between PEDI-mob and GMFM-66 scores, ages 2-8 years (r=0.894, p-value=0.01). Differences in PEDI-mob scores were found across GMFCS levels, with significant differences between all levels except between levels II and III (p-value <0.001).
Conclusion: These results support a strong relationship between parent-reported and clinically measured motor function
