Assessment of the measurement properties of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 by applying the COSMIN methodology

“…The studies were intercontinental, mainly from Europe [ 21 , 45 – 50 ], followed by Asia [ 20 , 22 , 51 – 55 ] and North America [ 14 , 17 – 19 , 56 , 57 ]. Specifically, six studies were from the USA [ 14 , 17 – 19 , 56 , 57 ]; four studies were from Taiwan, China [ 51 – 54 ]; three, Portugal [ 21 , 45 , 46 ]; two, Brazil [ 58 , 59 ]; two, South Korea [ 20 , 55 ]; one, Belgium [ 47 ]; Spain [ 50 ]; the Netherlands [ 48 ]; Iran [ 22 ]; and the UK [ 49 ]. The participants in these studies were both normal [ 14 , 19 – 21 , 45 , 46 ] and exceptional [ 17 , 18 , 22 , 47 – 59 ] children.…”

“…The participants in these studies were both normal [ 14 , 19 – 21 , 45 , 46 ] and exceptional [ 17 , 18 , 22 , 47 – 59 ] children. Exceptional children were identified as having various disabilities, such as developmental delays [ 17 , 47 , 48 , 51 , 52 , 56 , 57 ], premature birth [ 49 , 58 , 59 ] and neurological diseases [ 18 , 50 , 53 – 55 ]. The age of the children ranged from 0 to 6 years.…”

“…Two studies examined the unidimensionality of the PDMS-2 subscales through Rasch analysis and indicated that most items on the scale met the unidimensionality requirement [ 52 , 58 ]. Four of the 22 included articles assessed the internal consistency of the PDMS-2 [ 21 , 45 , 50 , 54 ]. The Cronbach’s alpha values for the internal consistency of PDMS-2 were 0.999 (Reflex), 0.86–0.999 (Stationary), 0.89–0.999 (Locomotion), 0.87–0.991 (Manipulation), 0.76–0.999 (Grasping) and 0.89–0.999 (Visual–Motor).…”

Rehabilitation in Patients Diagnosed with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita: A Systematic Review

“…This additional support to rehabilitative treatment has been studied not only in arthrogryposis, but also in other conditions. In all of them, benefits of various kinds have been seen, such as in motor development [37][38][39][40] and control [35,38], psycho-social [36] and cost reduction [41]. In other cases, these benefits have not been conclusively demonstrated, such as in Developmental Coordination Disorder [42].…”

“…In other cases, these benefits have not been conclusively demonstrated, such as in Developmental Coordination Disorder [42]. Interventions that can produce these benefits include massage [43,44], specific [37,40,45] and global mobilisations [35,38,39] learnt from health professionals, orthopaedic tools management [45] and psychological support [35,36]. All of this will improve independence [9,11,46] and favour relations with their social environment [9,15,20,47].…”
