To address the need for a standardized system to classify the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy, the authors developed a five‐level classification system analogous to the staging and grading systems used in medicine. Nominal group process and Delphi survey consensus methods were used to examine content validity and revise the classification system until consensus among 4...... hiện toàn bộ Content validity of the expanded and revised Gross Motor Function Classification System Tập 50 Số 10 - Trang 744-750 - 2008

The aim of this study was to validate the expanded and revised Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS‐E&R) for children and youth with cerebral palsy using group consensus methods. Eighteen physical therapists participated in a nominal group technique to evaluate the draft version of a 12‐ to 18‐year age band. Subsequently, 30 health professionals from seven countries partic...... hiện toàn bộ Developing and validating the Communication Function Classification System for individuals with cerebral palsy Tập 53 Số 8 - Trang 704-710 - 2011

Aim We undertook this study to explore the degree of impairment in movement skills in children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and a wide IQ range.Method Movement skills were measured using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M‐ABC) in a large, well defined, population‐derived group of children (...... hiện toàn bộ Lower‐Extremity strength profiles in spastic cerebral palsy Tập 40 Số 2 - Trang 100-107 - 1998

Although weakness has been identified in cerebral palsy (CP) in isolated muscle groups, the magnitude of weakness in multiple muscles and the patterns of weakness across joints have not been documented. The maximum voluntary contraction of eight muscle groups in the lower extremities of 15 children with spastic diplegia, 15 with spastic hemiplegia, and 16 age‐matched peers was determined u...... hiện toàn bộ Dyspraxia in autism: association with motor, social, and communicative deficits Tập 49 Số 10 - Trang 734-739 - 2007

Impaired performance of skilled gestures, referred to as dyspraxia, is consistently reported in children with autism; however, its neurological basis is not well understood. Basic motor skill deficits are also observed in children with autism and it is unclear whether dyspraxia observed in children with autism can be accounted for by problems with motor skills. Forty‐seven high‐functioning...... hiện toàn bộ
