ABSTRACT

Objective : The purpose of this study compared functional status between a sample of non-disabled Korean children and their American peers, and established the content validation of a Korean version of the PEDI. Methods : The Korean PEDI was developed by three bilingual users who were educated in the United States. Twenty-eight non-disabled Korean children between the ages of two and five years divided into six age groups to compare functional level in the American and Korean samples. Results : The results in a five-point scale score of the content validation of a Korean version of the PEDI were the average over the 4.67 points. The normative standard scores of the self-care domain in the 2.5~2.9 age group, the mobility domain in the 2.0~2.4, 2.5~2.9, and 3.0~3.4 age groups, and the caregiver assistance part in the 2.5~2.9 age group were lower than in their American peers. The scaled scores of the mobility domain in the 4.0~4.4 age group, the social-function domain in the 4.0~4.4 age group, and the caregiver assistance part in the 4.5~4.9 age group were lower than in their American peers. Conclusion : This study indicated that there were cultural differences between Koreans and their American peers.
