Responsiveness of the Seated Postural Control Measure (spcm) and the Level of Sitting Scale (lss)

چکیده
Some measurement tools in pediatric rehabilitation and assistive technology provide a limited number of items, or do not have adequate depth, to inform use of a specific type of technology. Others have been designed for use in research settings but are not easily transferable to clinical application [5] because of expense, need for specific equipment, or specialized knowledge for administration and/or interpretation of results. In several tools some aspects of psychometric testing have been reported, but they have not been evaluated to meet all criteria for instrument development [3,6].

متن کاملAssociation between gross motor function and postural control in sitting in children with Cerebral Palsy: a correlational study in Spain
BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the causes of physical disability in children. Sitting abilities can be described using the Level of Sitting Scale (LSS) and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). There is growing interest in the sitting posture of children with CP owing to a stable sitting position allows for the development of eye-hand coordination, functions of the u...

متن کاملAssessment of postural muscle strength in sitting: reliability of measures obtained with hand-held dynamometry in individuals with spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Muscle weakness frequently impairs the ability to maintain upright sitting in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The primary purpose of this study was to examine the intrarater and interrater reliability of hand-held dynamometry to assess postural muscle strength for maintaining upright sitting in individuals with SCI. We also assessed reliability of forces measur...
متن کاملReliability of the Function in Sitting Test (FIST)
The function in sitting test (FIST) is a newly developed, performance-based measure examining deficits in seated postural control. The FIST has been shown to be internally consistent and valid in persons with neurological dysfunction but intra- and interrater reliability and test-retest reliability have not been previously described. Seven patients with chronic neurologic dysfunction were teste...
