“…Input from the CST is also thought to have a role in development of neural networks within the spinal cord [6], which may have a role in the automatic control of walking. SCALE correlates with ability to perform uncoupled hip and knee movement during the swing phase of gait [7], and therefore may predict outcomes of hamstring lengthening surgeries in children with CP [8]. This is supported by Rha and colleagues findings that SCALE correlates with knee flexion at initial contact in patients who walk with significant knee flexion [9].…”

“…However, prior analyses aimed at optimizing treatment decisions have largely focused on biomechanics and gait patterns. 18 Clinical motor control assessments, while valuable, involve only limited, non-functional movements. There are a variety of motor control assessments that are a part of most clinical evaluations.…”

“…Assessment of SMC of the lower extremity in children with CP has been greatly facilitated by the development of the Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE) . Preliminary evidence suggests that SMC is generally more diminished distally than proximally in children with CP who are ambulatory, that coordination of hip and knee joint sagittal plane motion in swing phase is more compromised in participants with less SMC, and that kinematic outcomes after hamstring muscle lengthening are related to the level of SMC …”

“…6 Preliminary evidence suggests that SMC is generally more diminished distally than proximally in children with CP who are ambulatory, that coordination of hip and knee joint sagittal plane motion in swing phase is more compromised in participants with less SMC, and that kinematic outcomes after hamstring muscle lengthening are related to the level of SMC. [6][7][8][9] It has long been recognized that SMC also affects function of the upper extremity in children with CP. 2,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, there are no validated clinical tools for the assessment of SMC in the upper extremity.…”

Aim The ability to determine the relationship between selective motor control and upper extremity function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP), and to measure the functional outcome and efficacy of interventions designed to improve selective motor control, has been limited by the lack of an objective, validated tool. The primary objective of this study is to describe the development of a clinical tool entitled Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES), and present evidence of its validity and reliability. Method Content validity was established through an expert panel (eight clinicians, mean and median of 17y of clinical experience, range 2–30y). Intra‐ and interrater reliability was determined by six occupational therapists who scored 10 participant studies. Construct validity of the SCUES was established by comparison to the spontaneous functional analysis section of the Shriners Hospitals Upper Extremity Evaluation, the Manual Ability Classification System, and the Box and Block test for 25 children with unilateral CP. Results The content validity ratio values were greater than 0 (indicating >50% agreement) for 33 of the 34 items (97%), and equal or greater than 0.5 (indicating ≥75% agreement) for 26 of the 34 items (76%). Intrarater reliability was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] >0.75) for all segments and joints of the affected extremity. Interrater reliability was excellent for all segments and joints of the affected extremity except the shoulder (ICC=0.72). The SCUES was strongly correlated with the SHUEE (Spearman's rho=0.69, p=0.003). The SCUES was not correlated with the Manual Ability Classification System (rho=−0.24, p=0.369) or the Box and Block test (rho=0.47, p=0.066). Interpretation Psychometric analysis of the SCUES revealed comparable validity to other accepted video‐based clinical assessment tools for the upper extremity in children with CP.
