“…Regarding reliability, we reported test-retest values (ICC = 0.99) that revealed excellent stability over a one week time interval, consistent with reports from such other countries as Saudi Arabia (0.98; Alnahdi et al., 2020), Iran (0.96; Mohammadkhani-Pordanjani et al., 2020), Brazil (0.97; Kamonseki et al., 2017), Turkey (0.98; Şahin et al., 2020), Denmark (0.97; Hansen et al., 2020) and Belgium (0.91; Arnould et al., 2004).…”

“…We also demonstrated very good internal consistency of the scale with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.98, consistent with the Persian version’s internal consistency of 0.96 (Mohammadkhani-Pordanjani et al., 2020), the Brazilian version’s value of 0.99 (Kamonseki et al., 2017), the Turkish version of 0.94 (Şahin et al., 2020) and the Danish version of 0.96 (Hansen et al., 2020). The Omega value (0.98) also revealed good internal consistency, but it was not possible to directly compare this value across other studies.…”

“…For each item, parents are asked to provide their perceived child’s difficulty on a three-level scale: Impossible (score 0), Difficult (score 1), or Easy (score 2) (Arnould et al., 2004). As measures of manual ability, versions of the ABILHAND-Kids are widely used in such different countries as Saudi Arabia (Alnahdi et al., 2020), Iran (Mohammadkhani-Pordanjani et al., 2020), Turkey (Şahin et al., 2020), Brazil (Kamonseki et al., 2017), Denmark (Hansen et al., 2020), and Ukraine (Hasiuk et al., 2021). Studies of the instrument’s psychometric properties in these different countries revealed ABILHAND-Kids as a valid, reliable and responsive measure for evaluating hand functioning in children with CP.…”

Limitations in hand function are common among children with cerebral palsy (CP), with almost 50% presenting an arm–hand dysfunction. However, there is no standardized assessment tool available in Italian for evaluating bimanual performance for this population. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of an Italian translation of the ABILHAND-Kids (ABILHAND-Kids-IT) among children with CP. We examined internal consistency using Cronbach’s Alpha and Omega coefficients, and we investigated test-retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). We performed explorative factor analysis (EFA) to investigate structural validity. We calculated Pearson’s correlation coefficients between the ABILAND-Kids IT and the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) to assess criterion validity; and, to demonstrate the score variability of the ABILHAND-Kids-IT, we used analyses of variance (ANOVAs) to compare the 181 children with CP in this sample with their levels on the MACS. We enrolled 181 children with CP in the study. EFA confirmed a uni-dimensional scale. We obtained internal consistency on both Cronbach’s Alpha and Omega coefficient of 0.98, and a one-week test-retest reliability analysis revealed an ICC with 95% of confidence interval of .992. The ANOVA revealed significant score variability ( p < 0.01) and the Pearson correlation coefficient comparing the ABILHAND-Kids-It score with the MACS was –0.929 ( p < 0.01). We conclude that the ABILHAND-Kids-IT is valid and reliable for use with Italian children with CP.

“…Furthermore, scores can be entered on the Rehab-scales website [24]; they generate a Rasch-derived logit score, to be used in treatment planning and evaluation. The ABILHAND-Kids was originally developed in French and has been translated into several other languages [25,26,27,28,29,30]. However, a Danish version of the ABILHAND-Kids is not yet available.…”

Purpose: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire into Danish and assess its psychometric properties in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Materials and methods:A Danish version of the parent-reported ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire was created through a standardized translation process. Dimensionality (confirmatory factor analysis), reliability, smallest detectable change, floor and ceiling effects, and Rasch analysis were carried out.Results: One-hundred-and-fifty children diagnosed with CP were included. No parent had difficulty completing the ABILHAND-Kids (DK). Psychometric testing demonstrated a unidimensional scale, excellent test-retest reliability (ICC2.1A = 0.97) and internal consistency (α = 0.96). A smallest detectable change of 5.15 points was considered acceptable. One item showed Differential Item Functioning, four pairs of items showed signs of local dependence and one item had disordered thresholds. Nevertheless, analyses did not lead to the removal of any items. Item thresholds covered most levels of person abilities. Lastly, 24.7% scored within measurement error at the ceiling of the scale, indicating that it was not possible to measure further improvement.Conclusion: ABILHAND-Kids (DK) seems to be a valid, reliable and comprehensive measurement scale to assess manual ability in children with CP. It can be used in goal setting and to inform future interventions and rehabilitation evaluation.

“…The only instruments validated for Brazilian Portuguese are the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), 3,4 the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), 5,6 and more recently, the ABILHAND-Kids. 7 SHUEE is an instrument that evaluates the UL in children and adolescents aged three to 18 years with hemiplegic CP. 8 Differently from other tools, SHUEE not only assesses the individual's capacity to use the UL for activities but measures the quality of the movement in UL segments and also guides treatment based on the final score.…”

Objective: To validate the upper limb assessments tool, Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE), for individuals with hemiplegic cerebral palsy in the Brazilian population. Methods: Validation study to translate and culturally adapt the Manual and the instrument. The psychometric properties evaluated were reliability and convergent validity. Reliability was determined by internal consistency (Cronbach’s α coefficient), ceiling and floor effect, sensitivity to changes, and intra- and interobserver agreement. Convergent validity was performed using the Pediatric Motor Activity Log, the self-care scale of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, and the Manual Ability Classification System. Results: We evaluated 21 individuals with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, with a mean age of 8.7±4.0 years. After the instrument was translated, there was no need for cultural adaptation. The total Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.887 (95% confidence interval [95%CI] 0.745-0.970). We calculated sensitivity to changes in five subjects who underwent treatment with Botulinum Toxin Type A and physical therapy, with a significant difference between pre- and post-treatment evaluations in the Spontaneous Functional Analysis and Dynamic Positional Analysis. Convergent validity showed a significant correlation of the Spontaneous Functional Analysis and Dynamic Positional Analysis with the scales evaluated. All items of SHUEE presented high intra- and interobserver agreement. Conclusions: The results revealed that the Brazilian version of the SHUEE demonstrated good reliability and convergent validity, suggesting that it is an adequate and reliable tool for individuals with hemiplegic cerebral palsy in the Brazilian population.
