目的：检验儿童行走辅助器或轮椅儿童使用儿童活动能力题库的判别效度和评分模式。方法：对35名使用助行器或31名轮椅儿童的家长在网上填写完整的儿童活动能力题库(105项，其中助行器13项，轮椅14项)。采用独立样本t检验来检验两组间的平均得分。描述性地分析了27个移动器械项目在20-80总测试量表上的分数分布和位置以及反应模式。结果：两组的平均分数有显著差异(p<；0.001)。轮椅组平均得分(38.37，SD=7.09)低于步行辅助组(46.97，SD=5.10)。步行辅助组开始和结束时的评分都高于轮椅组，评分从20到80。结论：儿猫活动性域可以区分使用助行器或轮椅的已知儿童群体的功能活动状态，并提供特定的项目来测量使用活动设备的功能活动能力。
Objective: To examine the discriminant validity and scoring patterns of the PEDI-CAT Mobility item bank for children who use a walking aid or wheelchair.Methods: Parents whose children use a walking aid (n = 35) or a wheelchair (n = 31) completed the full PEDI-CAT Mobility item bank (105 items including 13 walking aid and 14 wheelchair items) on-line. An independent sample t-test was used to examine mean scores between the groups. Point spread and placement of the scores along the overall 20-80 test scale and response patterns for the 27 mobility device items were analyzed descriptively.Results: Mean scaled scores were significantly different (p < 0.001) for the two groups. Mean score for the Wheelchair Group (38.37, SD = 7.09) was lower than the Walking Aid Group (46.97, SD = 5.10). The Walking Aid Group started and ended higher on the 20 to 80 scale metric than the Wheelchair Group. No floor or ceiling effects were seen for the scoring of the 27 items specifying use of a mobility device.Conclusion: The PEDI-CAT Mobility domain could differentiate the functional mobility status between known groups of children who use a walking aid or wheelchair and provides specific items to measure functional mobility with use of a mobility device.
