To determine the inter-rater reliability of the individual items and the total score of the PEDro scale when rating the methodological quality of randomized controlled trials.
Evaluated the inter-rater reliability of individual scale items and total scores using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale applied to randomized controlled trials.
Reliability ratings for individual PEDro scale items ranged qualitatively from 'fair' to 'substantial'.
Reliability of the overall total PEDro score ranged qualitatively from 'fair' to 'good'.
