Readability of the Disablement in the Physically Active Scale in Pediatric Athletes: A Preliminary Investigation
Ashley N. Marshall and Kenneth C. Lam
Participation in pediatric athletics has steadily risen over the past decade. 1 As a result, clinicians must be prepared to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in this population in order to provide comprehensive and whole person health care. The Disablement in the Physically Active
