Objectives of this course:

On completion of this CPD activity, the participant will be able to:
  • Describe the mobility and gross motor skills of children who are classified in the Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I or II.
  • Compare the terms “high-level motor skills” and “early gross motor skills”.
  • Discuss the characteristics of eleven high-level motor skills assessment tools.
  • Compare evidence of the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of eleven high-level motor skills assessment tools.
  • Implement the decision tree to identify relevant and appropriate tools to measure high-level motor skills for ambulant, school-aged children with cerebral palsy.
  • Discuss the clinical utility of different high-level motor skills assessment tools.
You have until 31st December 2024 to complete this task.

Summary of the article

Children with cerebral palsy are a heterogeneous population who experience a wide range of impairments. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to accurately assess and understand the unique challenges that each of these children experiences. Unfortunately, to date, no review has examined and collated the psychometric properties of established or emerging tools that assess high-level motor skills in ambulant children with cerebral palsy. This review aimed to address this literature gap, and an evidence-based decision tree was developed to summarise the outcomes. The results of the study can assist clinicians and researchers in identifying relevant and appropriate tools to measure high-level motor skills.
