The Uganda version of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). Part I: Cross ‐cultural adaptation
ConclusionsThe PEDI‐UG is to be used to measure functional limitations in both clinical practice and research, in order to assess and evaluate rehabilitative procedures in children with developmental delay and disability in Uganda. In this study, we take the first step by translating and adapting the original PEDI version to the culture and life conditions in both rural and urban Uganda. In subsequent studies, the tool's psychometric properties will be examined, and the tool will be tested in children with developmental delay and disability.
