| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire |
| Brief Description |
The PODCI contains 86 items that measure six domains: upper extremity function, transfers andmobility, sports participation, pain and comfort, global function, and happiness with physicalcondition The items’ possible scores range from 3 (for response choices indicating ‘often,’ ‘sometimes,’ or ‘rarely or never’) to 6 (for response choices indicating ‘none,’‘very mild,’ ‘mild,’ ‘moderate,’ ‘severe,’ or ‘very severe’). Each of the above domains has a possible range of 0–100. The scoring algorithm of the PODCI includes six subscale scores and one global summary score. Additionally, this instrument isavailable in three formats: (a) a parent-report format for children (age birth to 10 years), (b) aparent-report format for adolescents (age 11–18 years), and (c) an adolescent-report format foradolescents (age 11–18 years). |
| Number of Items | 86 |
| Range | 0-100 |
| Responses options/scale |
Yes From 3 to 6 |
| Developed for | Both |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Self-administered, Interviewer/assessor |
| Recommendations to score |
The pediatric form (2 years to 10 years 11 months) is completed by parents. The adolescent form (11 years to 18 years 11 months) is answered by parents (parent report) and adolescents (self-report). |
