We investigated reliability, construct validity, and feasibility of two sprint tests for children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Twenty-six children with CP participated (7-18 years of age; Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] level I or II). On different occasions, the 10 x 5-Meter Sprint Test and the Muscle Power Sprint Test were scored by different assessors.
Excellent interobserver reliability (intraclass correlation [ICC] = 1.0 and ICC >or= 0.97) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.97 and ICC >or= 0.97) were obtained. Scores differed significantly on both sprint tests for children classified at GMFCS level I and level II. Mean scores for feasibility ranged from 8.8 to 9.2 on a 10-cm visual analog scale (10 = the best).
Both exercise tests are reliable and have good feasibility for children and adolescents with CP (GMFCS level I or II). Construct validity is supported for both sprint tests in children classified at GMFCS level I and level II.
我们研究了针对脑瘫(CP)儿童的两项短跑测试的可靠性、结构效度和可行性。
26名CP儿童参与(年龄7 - 18岁;粗大运动功能分类系统[GMFCS]为I级或II级)。在不同时间,由不同评估者对10×5米短跑测试和肌肉力量短跑测试进行评分。
获得了出色的观察者间信度(组内相关系数[ICC]=1.0且ICC≥0.97)和重测信度(ICC = 0.97且ICC≥0.97)。GMFCS I级和II级分类的儿童在两项短跑测试中的得分存在显著差异。在10厘米视觉模拟量表上,可行性的平均得分范围为8.8至9.2(10分表示最佳)。
这两项运动测试对于CP儿童和青少年(GMFCS I级或II级)都是可靠的,并且具有良好的可行性。GMFCS I级和II级分类的儿童在两项短跑测试中的结构效度均得到支持。
