External fixator treatment (EFT) of lower limb deformities is expected to optimize gait and physical appearance, which might improve the child's health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Although EFT can impose a significant psychologic burden on the children and their families, there is a lack of studies on the HRQOL of children undergoing EFT. The purpose of this paper is to determine the construct validity and the responsiveness of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) generic module in children with lower limb deformities undergoing EFT and to describe the use of other outcome measures in this population.
