Abstract
Due to the lack of standardized tool to quantitatively assess mild motor problems of children, Quick Motor Problem Inventory (QMPI) was developed for evaluating motor abilities of children aged from 5 to 10 years. The QMPI contains 22 items for assessing reflex integration, muscle cocontraction/stability, balance, coordination and motor planning. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the QMPI. The results of this study indicated that QMPI has satisfactory test-retest reliability (ICC=.96), inter-rater reliability (ICC=.82), and acceptable concurrent validity. It is suggested to be used to detect neuro-motor deficits for children with mild motor problems followed by a comprehensive intervention program which addresses both motor abilities and motor skills.
