Validity and reliability of the movement assessment battery second edition test in children with and without motor impairment: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Examining the reliability and validity of the second edition movement assessment battery test (MABC-2) in children with and without motor impairment.

Materials and methods

In this prospective cohort study, the MABC-2 test and developmental coordination disorder questionnaire 2007 (DCDQ'07) were completed by children and their parents. By using 95% confidence intervals, minimal detectable change (MDC95) was calculated, and concurrent validity was investigated. By applying the MABC-2 test as a reference standard (cut-off fifth centile), sensitivity and specificity were examined.

Results

273 children (mean age: 6.3 ± 2.3 years; 70% male) with and without motor impairment completed the investigation. For test-retest reliability, intra-class correlation c
