“…One of these was upper extremity function. We observed ‘how often’ and ‘how well’ our participants performed various upper extremity motor activities (Günel et al, 2021). Due to loss of muscle strength and increased spasticity in children with CP, upper extremity dysfunction is evident in their daily living activities.…”

“…The fact that individuals with better trunk control have higher motor activity skills suggested that they could perform various motor activities more frequently and with better quality, due to their balance-stabilization abilities. On the other hand, since daily life activities usually consist of multi-task activities, some parameters in the motor activity diary have dual tasks (Fisher-Pipher et al, 2017; Günel et al, 2021). Since upper extremity motor skills also require fine motor skills, cognitive capacity is also important (Fisher-Pipher et al, 2017).…”

Our aim in this study was to examine relationships between the motor activity ability, sensor-based kinematics and forward-backwards gait characteristics of children with cerebral palsy (CP). In this prospective cross-sectional study we studied 40 children with CP. We used the Pediatric Motor Activity Log Revised (PMAL-R) to assess motor activity, evaluated motion kinematics (acceleration and angular velocity) with a sensor-based application, applied the Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) to observe gait performance, and used the Three Meter Backward Walk Test (3MBWT) to assess backward gait. We found moderately positive significant correlations (r1 = 0.416, r2 = 0.418, p < 0.05) between the chilidren's minimum angular velocity on PMAL-R motor activity frequency (how often) and quality (how well) scores, respectively. We also found moderately negative significant correlations (r1 = −0.529, r2 = −0.521, p < 0.05) between PMAL-R frequency (how often) and quality (how well) scores with TUG, respectively. There were moderately high positive correlations (r1 = 0.415, r2 = 0.726, p < 0.05) between EVGS scores and 3MBWT and TUG scores, respectively. We concluded that angular velocity ability was moderately related to children’s motor activity and showed that physical performance tests (TUG and 3MBWT) could monitor gait function and upper extremity motor activity level, including both forward and backward walking tasks, in children with CP.

“…The MAL-30 measure has been validated in several countries [ 20 , 22 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] and has been translated into Spanish, but it was uniquely adapted to the Hispanic American population [ 20 , 31 ]. However, some studies that were carried out in Spain [ 32 , 33 , 34 ] used this version that was translated into Spanish but not validated for this population.…”

Background: The validation of assessment instruments is of great importance when they are applied in clinical and healthcare settings, since their safe and reliable use is essential for the application of appropriate and high-quality treatments. The motor activity log (MAL-30) is an instrument widely used by professionals in the clinic, which has been validated in different countries, languages and populations. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the MAL-30 scale for post-stroke patients in a Spanish sample. Methods: For this purpose, internal consistency tests were carried out using Cronbach’s alpha, item–item and item–total correlations, and a half-and-half test for reliability. For the validation, criterion validity tests were performed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale as the gold standard, and the convergent validity tests were carried out by correlation with the action research arm test (ARAT), box and block test (BBT), functional independence measure (FIM)–functional assessment measure (FAM), Lawton and Brody index and stroke quality of life scale (ECVI-38). Results: The results showed good internal consistency, as well as a good criterion and convergent validity. Conclusions: The MAL-30 instrument can be considered a valid and reliable tool for assessing the quantity and quality of the use of the affected upper limb in the performance of the activities of daily living and the instrumental activities of daily living after stroke in a Spanish sample.
