Responsiveness of the “PROM Pediatric Physical Therapy” in Dutch Pediatric Physical Therapy Practices

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the responsiveness of the patient-reported outcome measure pediatric physical therapy (PROM-ppt), a questionnaire used to also stimulate shared decision making in Dutch pediatric physical therapy practices. METHODS: Children completed the PROM-ppt at intake and 3 months after intervention or post-intervention. Reported problems were categorized as motor or pain related goals for intervention. Responsiveness was examined to test the a priori hypotheses and area under the curve (AUC). The Global Perceived Effect scale was used for comparison. RESULTS: Overall, the hypotheses were confirmed in 60% of the cases with adequate AUCs. In children with motor problems, 80% of the hypotheses were matched, with adequate AUCs. In children with pain related problems, 40% of the hypotheses were matched, with inadequate AUCs. CONCLUSION: The PROM-ppt had moderate responsiveness in the pediatric population, good responsiveness in children with interventions for motor problems, and poor responsiveness to pain related problems.
