First reliability aspects of a new ICF-CY-based mobility screening for 7 and 8 year old children
Abstract
Background: Children with a motor development disorder need to be identified early in order to initiate appropriate therapies. Therefore, a new mobility screening for children from 7 years and older is validated.
Methods: 52 primary school children (27 boys, 25 girls, age 8.07 ± .48 years) participated. All underwent the MobiScreen 7-8. Item split times and their scores are used to evaluate Inter-Rater Reliability and Internal Consistency. The significance level was set at p<.05.
Results: Cronbach's α reached values of α= .89 (total time) and α= .66 (total score), and inter-item correlations range from r = .06 to r = .90.
Conclusions: The given criteria were achieved and further studies should follow to evaluate the validity aspects of this screening instrument. A study on this is underway.
