TLDR
The results support the reliability and validity of the TCMS in children with spastic CP and the scale gives insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the child's trunk performance and therefore can have valuable clinical use.About:

Reliability and Responsiveness of the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Jooyeon Ko,Minyoung Kim +1 more
TL;DR: Both the reliability and the responsiveness of the GMFM-88 are reasonable for measuring gross motor function in children with CP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical tools to assess balance in children and adults with cerebral palsy: a systematic review
TL;DR: There was moderate or limited levels of evidence for most of the measurement properties of the tools; the strongest level of evidence was found for the Trunk Control Measurement Scale and the Level of Sitting Scale, in the category ‘maintain balance’.

Clinical characteristics of impaired trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Lieve Heyrman,Kaat Desloovere,Guy Molenaers,Geert Verheyden,Katrijn Klingels,Elegast Monbaliu,Hilde Feys +6 more
TL;DR: T trunk control is impaired in children with CP to a various extent, depending on the topography and severity of the motor impairment, according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System.

The central role of trunk control in the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy: a retrospective cross‐sectional study
Derek John Curtis,Derek John Curtis,Penny Butler,Sandy Saavedra,Jesper Bencke,Thomas Kallemose,Stig Sonne-Holm,Marjorie H. Woollacott +7 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between segmental control of the trunk and the corresponding gross motor function in children with CP.

Altered trunk movements during gait in children with spastic diplegia: compensatory or underlying trunk control deficit?
Lieve Heyrman,Hilde Feys,Guy Molenaers,Ellen Jaspers,Davide Monari,Angela Nieuwenhuys,Kaat Desloovere +6 more
TL;DR: This study provided first evidence that the altered trunk movements observed during gait should not be solely considered compensatory due to lower limb impairments, but that these may also partially reflect an underlying trunk control deficit.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data
J. R. Landis,Gary G. Koch +1 more
TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

Development and reliability of a system to classify gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy
Robert J. Palisano,Peter Rosenbaum,Stephen D. Walter,Dianne J Russell,Ellen Wood,Barbara Galuppi +5 more
TL;DR: 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.
