Establishing Minimal Clinically Important Differences for Scores on the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory for Inpatient Rehabilitation

Abstract

Across all scales, PEDI change scores on the order of about 11% (0-100 scale) appear to be meaningful to clinicians during a child's or adolescent's inpatient rehabilitation. These data can serve as a starting point for interpreting group and individual changes on the PEDI during physical therapy intervention in inpatient rehabilitation.
