N1 - Funding Information:
This work was partly sponsored by a grant from the Mäxi-Foundation, Zurich. We are grateful to all children and parents, who participated in this project, and all nurses from the rehab center in Affoltern, who helped to collect the data. Many thanks to Christina Schulze and Julie Page, from the ZHAW Winterthur, for their cooperation and provision of the preliminary version of the PEDI-G.

N2 - Aims: To investigate inter-rater reliability, concurrent validity, and feasibility of the German Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI-G) using the mode of observation in a Swiss inpatient rehabilitation setting with the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM (R)) as criterion.Methods: Cross-sectional clinimetric study including 36 children and adolescents with median age 10.8 (quartiles 8.7, 13.0) years with neurological/neuro-orthopedic disorders. Data were collected by healthcare professionals through observation. Analyses were performed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC2,1), standard error of measurement (SEMAgreement), Bland-Altman plots, Cohen's Kappa kappa, percentage agreement, and correlations.Results: Excellent inter-rater reliability (ICCs2,1 >= 0.97), small SEMs and acceptable limits of agreement for the Functional Skills Scale (FSS) and Caregiver Assistance Scale (CAS) were found. No systematic differences between raters existed. Cohen's Kappa for inter-rater agreement of the Modifications Scale (MS) ranged from poor to strong (-0.06 = 0.96), and excellent correlations of FSS and CAS with each other (rho >= 0.98) were identified.Conclusion: The German PEDI-G seems to be a reliable and valid, but time-consuming tool when applied in an inpatient setting using observation.
