PEDI: initial evaluation compared to the final assessment (TX after 32 months): scaled scores
| Performance domains | Self-care | Mobility | Social function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre assessment score | 44.4 | 45.8 | 67.6 |
| Post assessment score | 51.1 | 49.8 | 72.5 |
Scaled scores range from 0–100. Scores do not compare a child to peers, rather scores describe where the child’s performance falls relative to the maximum possible scaled score: low score = low capability, high score = high capability
