Upper limb motor and sensory impairments in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Can they be measured reliably?

Abstract

For all motor and sensory assessments, interrater and test-retest reliability was moderate to very high. Test-retest reliability was clearly higher than interrater reliability. To improve interrater reliability, it was recommended to strictly standardize the test procedure, refine the scoring criteria and provide intensive rater trainings.
