Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the test-retest reliability of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) in children with cerebral palsy. The GMFM was administered twice, within a one-week time period, to twenty-one children with cerebral palsy. The time of day, therapists, and evaluation setting were held constant. Intra-class correlations ranged from .76 to 1.00. The data suggest that the GMFM is consistent in the measurement of gross motor skills and that children with cerebral palsy exhibit stable gross motor skills during repeat measurement. This information will be helpful in future analysis of treatment efficacy using the GMFM as an outcome measure.
