Methods: 105 children diagnosed with unilateral Cerebral Palsy, aged between 6 and 18 years, participated in this study. The test–retest reliability of the force generated during bimanual crate task and unimanual pitcher task of the Task-oriented Arm-hAnd Capacity instrument was investigated using intraclass correlation two-way random model with absolute agreement. The intraclass correlations were calculated for two age groups (6–12 and 13–18 years old). Results: The results showed good test–retest reliability for the crate and pitcher task with the non-affected hand for both age groups. The results of the pitcher task for the affected hand showed moderate test–retest reliability for both age groups. Conclusion: The Task-oriented Arm-hAnd Capacity instrument has moderate to good test–retest reliability. It is a simple and objective instrument to assess task-oriented strength in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. | Keywords: | Cerebral palsy; upper extremity; muscle strength; task-oriented; test–retest reliability | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28421 | ISSN: | 0194-2638 | e-ISSN: | 1541-3144 | DOI: | 10.1080/01942638.2018.1527426 | ISI #: | WOS:000472644700005 | Rights: | Copyright 2018 Mellanie Geijen, Eugene Rameckers, Marlous Schnackers, Carolien Bastiaenen, Andrew Gordon, Lucianne Speth and Rob Smeets.
