Abstract

: The Early Clinical Assessment of Balance (ECAB) is a measure of postural stability for children with cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between the ECAB and Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66) and to determine the responsiveness of the ECAB in children with CP under three years of age. : Twenty seven children (mean age of 25 months) participated. Data were collected before and after 3 and 6 months of physical therapy. Responsiveness was calculated using standardized response means (SRM). : Significant relationships were observed between the ECAB, GMFM-66 score (r = 0.87), and GMFM subscales (r = 0.63-0.86). A moderate effect size (SRM = 0.62) and a large effect size (SRM = 0.92) for the ECAB were found over the 3- and 6-month intervention periods, respectively. : These results support the validity and responsiveness of the ECAB in young children with CP.

摘要

早期平衡临床评估（ECAB）是一种用于评估脑瘫（CP）儿童姿势稳定性的方法。本研究的目的是探讨ECAB与粗大运动功能测量量表-66（GMFM-66）之间的关系，并确定ECAB对3岁以下脑瘫儿童的反应性。27名儿童（平均年龄25个月）参与了研究。在物理治疗前以及治疗3个月和6个月后收集数据。使用标准化反应均值（SRM）计算反应性。观察到ECAB、GMFM-66评分（r = 0.87）和GMFM分量表（r = 0.63 - 0.86）之间存在显著关系。在3个月和6个月的干预期内，ECAB的效应量分别为中等（SRM = 0.62）和较大（SRM = 0.92）。这些结果支持了ECAB在幼儿脑瘫患者中的有效性和反应性。
