The prerequisites for muscle strength measurement methods are validity and reliability which , however, are lacking in children with CP. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine the reliability of muscle strength measurement with a Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester’s (NMMT) reliability in children with CP and non-disabled (ND) children. Subjects: 20 children with spastic CP and 30 ND children ages 6 to 12 participated. Methods: The NMMT’ sreliability was analyzed through intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC (2,1)) for 12 muscle groups. Results: Intrasession reliability was good ( ICC 0.83 - 0.98) in both groups. Intersession reliability was good in ND children ( ICC 0.75 – 0.98), moderate to good in children with CP (ICC 0. 60 – 0.94) except for the elbow extensor and hip adductor. Interrater reliability was moderate to good in both groups (ICC 0.62 – 0.97), except for the shoulder abductor and extensor, elbow extensor and hip extensor in children with CP. Conclusion: The NMMT is reliable in testing non- disabled children and children with CP. |
