Influence of trunk control and lower extremity impairments on gait capacity in children with cerebral palsy
Julia Balzer,Petra Marsico,Elena Mitteregger,Marietta L. van der Linden,Thomas H. Mercer,Hubertus J. A. van Hedel +5 more
TL;DR: It is cautiously suggested that a combined trunk control and lower extremity training might be promising for improving gait capacity in children with CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System level I–III), which needed to be tested in future intervention-studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construct validity and reliability of the Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity in children with cerebral palsy
Julia Balzer,Petra Marsico,Elena Mitteregger,Marietta L. van der Linden,Thomas H. Mercer,Hubertus J. A. van Hedel +5 more
TL;DR: This work investigated construct validity and intra‐ and interrater reliability of the Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE) and found no significant differences between the two assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The eating and drinking ability classification system: concurrent validity and reliability in children with cerebral palsy.
Lea Tschirren,Susanne Bauer,Susanne Bauer,Chiara Hanser,Petra Marsico,Diane Sellers,Hubertus J. A. van Hedel +6 more
TL;DR: This study aimed to determine its concurrent validity and reliability in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy and its relation to eating and drinking ability classification system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Translation and construct validity of the Trunk Control Measurement Scale in children and youths with brain lesions.
TL;DR: The results support the validity of the TCMS in children with brain lesions and provides paediatric therapists working in German speaking countries with a valid tool to assess impaired trunk control in these children.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Trunk Control Measurement Scale: reliability and discriminative validity in children and young people with neuromotor disorders
TL;DR: This study investigated the intra‐ and interrater reliability of the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) German version, with its subscores, in children with neuromotor disorders and its discriminative validity was assessed by comparing the TCMS scores with the Functional Independence Measure for children.
