“…Other limitations of this study are the wide age range, the unequal distribution of genders, the heterogeneous number of treatments and the different therapy approaches used in the occupational therapy group. Concerning measurement instruments, it has to be questioned whether the Movement ABC 2 actually provides a valid diagnosis of motor impairment (recently Schulz, Henderson, Sugden, & Barnett, 2011. A corresponding compendium for early diagnosis of motor functions has been published recently (see Wagner, Macha, et al, 2011).…”

“…To our knowledge, no studies have been presented that validate the theoretical MC model structure using the original three categories. Some studies have used structural equation modelling or confirmatory factor analysis techniques to look for the structural validity of instruments (e.g., M-ABC, 14 TGMD 15 ) but the instruments themselves were not in full agreement with the theoretical MC model.…”

a b s t r a c tObjectives: This study was aimed at developing a quantitative model to evaluate motor competence (MC) in children and adolescents, to be applicable in research, education, and clinical contexts. Design: Cross-sectional. Methods: A total of 584 children (boys n = 300) with ages between 6 and 14 years were assessed using nine well known quantitative motor tasks, divided into three major components (stability, locomotor and manipulative). Structural equation modelling through EQS 6.1 was used to find the best model for representing the structural and measurement validity of MC. Results: The final MC model was composed by three latent factors closely related with each other. Each factor was best represented by two of the initial three motor tasks chosen. The model was shown to give a very good overall fit ( 2 = 12.04, p = .061; NFI = .982; CFI = .991; RMSEA = .059). Conclusions: MC can be parsimoniously represented by six quantitative motor tasks, grouped into three interrelated factors. The developed model was shown to be robust when applied to different samples, demonstrating a good structural and measurement reliability. The use of a quantitative protocol with few, simple to administer and well known, motor tasks, is an important advantage of this model, since it can be used in several contexts with different objectives. We find it especially beneficial for physical educations teachers who have to regularly assess their students.

“…The structural validity of its revised version (The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition, The Movement ABC-2) has recently been established (12). The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007 (DCDQ'07) is a parent report developed to assist in the identification of DCD.…”
