Title: | Exploring relevant parameters and investigating their reproducibility of task-oriented unimanual strength measurement in children with unilateral cerebral palsy | Authors: | Geijen, Mellanie Bastiaenen, Caroline Gordon, Andrew Smeets , Rob RAMECKERS, Eugene |
Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | DISABILITY AND REHABILITATION, | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | PurposeTo explore relevant parameters and investigate their test-retest reliability within the scope of the push button task of the Task-oriented Arm-hAnd Capacity (TAAC) measured in children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP).Methods118 children diagnosed with unilateral CP, aged between 6 and 18 years, participated in this study. Thetest-retest reliability of the force generated during the push button task of the TAAC was investigated using an intraclass correlation (ICC) two-way random model with absolute agreement. The ICCs were calculated across the whole age group and for two separate age subgroups (6-12 and 13-18 years).ResultsTest-retest reliability of the parameters "mean peak force of all attempts", "overshoot of force", "number of successful attempts" and "time to complete four successful attempts" were moderate to good (ICC range 0.667-0.865; 0.721-0.908; 0.733-0.817, respectively).ConclusionsThe results showed moderate to good test-retest reliability for all parameters. The parameters "mean peak force" and "number of successful attempts" are the most relevant parameters, as these parameters are task-specific and the most functional for clinical practice. | Notes: | Geijen, M (corresponding author), Maastricht Univ Maastricht, Res Sch Functioning Participat & Rehabil, Dept Rehabil Med, Univ singel 40, NL-6229 Maastricht, Netherlands. mellaniegeijen@gmail.com |
