ABSTRACT Aims: The Challenge was designed as an extension to the GMFM-66 to assess advanced motor skills of children with cerebral palsy (CP) who walk/run independently. This study evaluated the Challenge's inter-rater and test–retest reliability. Methods: Thirty children with CP (GMFCS level I [n = 24] and II [n = 6]) completed the Challenge, with re-testing one to two weeks later. Seven physiotherapist assessors passed the Challenge criterion test pre-administration. A single assessor…

Reliability and minimal detectable change of the Challenge, an advanced motor skills test for children with cerebral palsy, Danish version.
TLDR
The Danish Challenge showed excellent reliability in this testing context when physiotherapists scored from live- or video-recorded assessments and maintained a promising minimal detectable change of less than five points after translation and cultural adaptation.
Measurement Properties and Translation to Brazilian-Portuguese of the Challenge for Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
The translation of the Challenge assessment into Brazilian-Portuguese showed excellent face validity and reliability and was able to document longitudinal change.
The switch access measure: development and evaluation of the reliability and clinical utility of a switching assessment for children with severe and multiple disabilities.
TLDR
The Switch Access Measure is sufficiently reliable for clinical use, permitting clinicians, after SAM training and certification, to include it in their assessments and in development of switch access intervention plans for children with severe, multiple disabilities.
Exergaming improves balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy with low balance performance: results from a multicenter controlled trial.
TLDR
This home-based exergame-training resulted in balance improvements for the current population of CP that had a low baseline function, suggesting that these children can benefit from enrolment in this type of exer game-training protocol to improve their balance.
Study protocol: functioning curves and trajectories for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy in Brazil – PartiCipa Brazil
TLDR
This study proposes a multi-center, longitudinal, prospective cohort study with 750 Brazilian children and adolescents with CP from across the country to identify and draw a profile of functioning and disability and explore interrelationships among all ICF framework components and the five functional classification systems.
A Video Game with Foot Switch for Walking and Balance Ability Improvement in Children with Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
Using this modified foot switch with video games may improve exercise compliance and enhance recovery of balance and walking performance in children with CP.
Immediate Effect of Vertibrace Dynamic Orthosis on Gross Motor Function in a Child with Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Case Study
TLDR
Vertibrace Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis showed an immediate improvement in the gross motor abilities by 3% in the child with spastic cerebral palsy with regard to kneeling, walking, running and jumping.
An Empirical Analysis of the Effectiveness of Behavioral Cognitive Mentoring: A Case Study of the Mothers of Children with Cerebral Palsy
Problem Statement: The births of a new child bring with it the changes to the structure of the family and add up to the responsibilities borne by the parents. Parents wish that they have an ideal…

Interobserver reliability of the gross motor performance measure: preliminary results.
TLDR
Results from this study indicate that it is possible to assess reliably the quality of movement in children with CP and interobserver reliability was in the 'fair to good' category regardless of the reliability measure used in the analysis.
Observer reliability of the Gross Motor Performance Measure and the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, based on video recordings
TLDR
Video scoring was found to offer many advantages; the possibility to review performance, to use special trained observers for scoring and less demanding assessment for the children and recommendations are made to increase reliability of these subscores.

TLDR
The revised Challenge measures skill accomplishment, speed, and quality, and captures high-level movement control older children exhibited.
Reliability of Gross Motor Performance Measure
TLDR
The Gross Motor Performance Measure was administered by therapists who are familiar with the Gross Motor Function Measure and had a 1-day training workshop, reliability of the total scores was above recommended minimums and scores of single attributes were less reproducible.
Reliability of the Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CB&M) in high-functioning school-aged children and adolescents who have an acquired brain injury
TLDR
The CB&M showed excellent reliability in youth and was comparable for live and videotape rating approaches, meaning that the easier and less expensive live-rating can be recommended.
Development and Pilot Testing of the Challenge Module: A Proposed Adjunct to the Gross Motor Function Measure for High-Functioning Children with Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
The aim was to develop a Challenge Module (CM) as a proposed adjunct to the Gross Motor Function Measure for children with cerebral palsy who have high-level motor function, which requires refinement through Rasch scaling and formal validation.
Reliability of assessment tools in rehabilitation: an illustration of appropriate statistical analyses
TLDR
The ICC and Bland and Altman tests are appropriate for analysis of reliability studies of similar design to that described, but neither test alone provides sufficient information and it is recommended that both are used.
Development and reliability of a system to classify gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy
TLDR
A five‐level classification system analogous to the staging and grading systems used in medicine, which has application for clinical practice, research, teaching, and administration is developed.
Variability and minimum detectable change for walking energy efficiency variables in children with cerebral palsy
TLDR
For cohorts of children with CP who are evaluated over time, NNcost is the best normalization method as it reduces the variability between participants of different ages, height, and weight while evaluating only the amount of energy used to ambulate.
Prognosis for gross motor function in cerebral palsy: creation of motor development curves.
TLDR
Evidence-based prognostication about gross motor progress in children with cerebral palsy is now possible, providing parents and clinicians with a means to plan interventions and to judge progress over time.
