Abstract
Objective: To develop an outcome measure of functional status in preschool children with limb deficiency. Design: Parents of preschool children with limb deficiency completed self-report measures during a routine medical clinic visit. Setting: Outpatient pediatric clinic. Participants: Fifty-two parents of children (ages 4 to 7) with acquired or congenital limb deficiency. Main Outcome Measure: The newly developed Child Amputee Prosthetics Project Functional Status Inventory for Preschool children (CAPP-FSIP). Results: Initial psychometric studies indicate high internal consistency reliability of the new instrument. Content validity was established through expert clinician review. Initial construct validity analyses confirm that the CAPP-FSIP discriminates between children with upper and lower deficiency and their prosthesis use for functional activities. Conclusion: The CAPP-FSIP is a promising new measure for evaluating preschool age children with limb deficiency.
