“…One study used Pearson correlations to evaluate the concurrent validity between the MOT 4–6 and the KTK, with results showing moderate correlations for children aged 5–6 (mean r = .63), as was hypothesised prior to testing ( r >.6). In addition to the results detailed in Table 6 , one study looked at the concurrent validity of assessing children using the MABC in person and via tele-rehabilitation software, with results showing no significant difference between scores, as hypothesised [ 76 ]. As well as this, the MABC and the BOT-SF had a positive predictive value of .88, with twenty one out of twenty four children testing positively for motor coordination problems also scoring below the fifteenth percentile on the MABC [ 90 ].…”

“…(Continued) evaluating the validity and reliability of FMS assessment tools were conducted in 29 countries, with Australia hosting the most studies(13) [50,56,[71][72][73][74][75][76][77], followed by Brazil (12 studies)[53,57,66,70,[78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85] and the USA (nine studies). Eight studies were carried out in Belgium[49,58,63,[86][87][88][89] and seven in Canada[43,54,60,[90][91][92][93][94].…”

The validity and reliability of observational assessment tools available to measure fundamental movement skills in school-age children: A systematic review

Background Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) play a critical role in ontogenesis. Many children have insufficient FMS, highlighting the need for universal screening in schools. There are many observational FMS assessment tools, but their psychometric properties are not readily accessible. A systematic review was therefore undertaken to compile evidence of the validity and reliability of observational FMS assessments, to evaluate their suitability for screening. Methods A pre-search of 'fundamental movement skills' OR 'fundamental motor skills' in seven online databases (PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, EBSCO CINAHL, EBSCO SPORTDiscus, Ovid PsycINFO and Web of Science) identified 24 assessment tools for school-aged children that: (i) assess FMS; (ii) measure actual motor competence and (iii) evaluate performance on a standard battery of tasks. Studies were subsequently identified that: (a) used these tools; (b) quantified validity or reliability and (c) sampled school-aged children. Study quality was assessed using COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklists. Results Ninety studies were included following the screening of 1863 articles. Twenty-one assessment tools had limited or no evidence to support their psychometric properties. The Test of

“…Discussions are ongoing about how to use visual observation to deliver remote assessment of wheelchair and seating needs (Graham et al, 2019), supervise administration of standardized measures such as the Movement Assessment Battery for Children by community workers (Nicola et al, 2018), and supplement information from a family reported questionnaire such as the GMFCS Family Report Questionnaire to classify gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (Rackauskaite et al, 2012).…”

Aims: Telehealth is being rapidly adopted by physical and occupational therapists in pediatrics as a strategy to maintain services during the COVID-19 crisis. This perspective presents a mix of theoretical and practice perspectives to support the implementation of telehealth. Although research evidence is just emerging, there is sufficient indication to believe telehealth is effective. However, which telehealth strategies are best for which children and families, and which intervention goals, are not yet clear. Methods: We discuss how different telehealth strategies (e.g. videoconferencing, emails, phone calls, online programs) are being used to address specific intervention goals. Comments from therapists using telehealth and examples of practices in different context and with different populations are provided. We discuss how newly adopted telehealth practices could be included in future hybrid service delivery models and programs, as well as factors influencing the decision to offer face-to-face or online interventions. Conclusion: Although telehealth has been implemented quickly as a response to a health care crisis, and is not a one-size-fits-all intervention, we believe it offers great opportunities to increase the accessibility, cost-effectiveness and family-centredness of our services, to best support families of children with disabilities.

“…Multiple tools have been deemed reliable and valid in TR physical therapy for musculoskeletal disorders ( Mani, et al, 2017 ); however, there is less research available for TR in the pediatric population. Some outcome measures are validated in pediatric TR such as the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (4 th edition) and the Speech Intelligibility Rating for Pediatric Language Assessment ( Taylor et al, 2014 ) or the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (2 nd edition) for motor performance ( Nicola, et al, 2018 ); however, these tests are not able to detect change across the entire rehabilitation discipline such as the COPM. While there is much to be learned regarding pediatric TR, this quality improvement initiative supported further use and study of the COPM as a family-centered outcome measure.…”

The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure: A Feasible Multidisciplinary Outcome Measure for Pediatric Telerehabilitation

2021

This study describes the feasibility of using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) as a multidisciplinaryoutcome measure for pediatric telerehabilitation (TR). The COPM was administered at monthly time points over four months. A follow-up survey was conducted with the therapists to assess clinical utility of the COPM. Seventy-three percent of the children seen in TR > one month had at least two administrations of the COPM. Eighty percent of therapists agreed or strongly agreed that the COPM was easy to use in a reasonable amount of time, helped identify functional goals, could be used with various children with varied diagnoses, and measured functional change. In 37 children, the median clinical change in performance and satisfaction was two points or greater on the COPM over the episode of TR. The COPM is a feasible measure perceived positively by pediatric therapists for TR use.
