Content validity and reliability of test of gross motor development in Chilean children

Abstract

OBJECTIVE To validate a Spanish version of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) for the Chilean population.METHODS Descriptive, transversal, non-experimental validity and reliability study. Four translators, three experts and 92 Chilean children, from five to 10 years, students from a primary school in Santiago, Chile, have participated. The Committee of Experts has carried out translation, back-translation and revision processes to determine the translinguistic equivalence and content validity of the test, using the content validity index in 2013. In addition, a pilot implementation was achieved to determine test reliability in Spanish, by using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman method. We evaluated whether the results presented significant differences by replacing the bat with a racket, using T-test.RESULTS We obtained a content validity index higher than 0.80 for language clarity and relevance of the TGMD-2 for children. There were significant differences in the object control subtest when comparing the results with bat and racket. The intraclass correlation coefficient for reliability inter-rater, intra-rater and test-retest reliability was greater than 0.80 in all cases.CONCLUSIONS The TGMD-2 has appropriate content validity to be applied in the Chilean population. The reliability of this test is within the appropriate parameters and its use could be recommended in this population after the establishment of normative data, setting a further precedent for the validation in other Latin American countries.

Fiabilidad y Validez de la Batería TGMD-2 en Población Española

“…El análisis estadístico empleado indicó que los valores de fiabilidad encontrados para la batería TGMD-2 en su versión española fueron elevados. Los datos obtenidos están en consonancia con los reportados en otros estudios de adaptación cultural de la batería, realizados en poblaciones de similar edad, tanto para la fiabilidad intra-evaluador (CCI: .86-.91) (Valentini, 2012;Cano-Cappellacci, Leyton, & Carreño, 2016;Barnett et al, 2013;Capio, Eguia, & Simons, 2015;Farrokhi, Zadeh, Kazemnejad, & Ilbeigi, 2014;Kim, Kim, Valentini, & Clarck, 2015;Simons et al, 2007;Houwen, Hartman, Jonker, & Visscher, 2010;Ulrich, 2002), como para la consistencia interna (CCI: .91-.99) (Valentini, 2012;Farrokhi et al, 2014;Capio et al, 2015;Cano-Cappellacci et al, 2016). En el estudio de adaptación cultural en España de la batería TGMD-3 (Estevan et al, 2017), se encontró una fiabilidad similar a la reportada en la presente investigación, tanto inter (CCI=.98; 95% IC=.85-1.00) como intraevaluador (CCI=.90; 95% IC=.66-.98), mientras que su consistencia interna se mostró levemente inferior (α=.89; 95% IC=.87-.92).…”

Perbezaan tahap prestasi motor kanak-kanak berdasarkan etnik dan umur kronologi

“…Perkembangan positif ini termasuklah penglibatan yang aktif dalam sukan, meningkatkan tahap keyakinan dan personaliti diri dan paling utama adalah penglibatan sukan sepanjang hayat secara konsisten (Baghurst & Mwavita, 2014;Bryant et al, 2016;Veldman, Jones & Okely, 2015) Pada dasarnya, perkembangan motor boleh didefinisikan sebagai perubahan yang berlaku terhadap tingkah laku dan pergerakan di dalam kehidupan sepanjang hayat manusia (Payne & Isaacs, 2017). Selain itu, perkembangan motor juga dimaksudkan sebagai bidang pengajian yang berkaitan dengan perubahan dalam prestasi motor sepanjang hayat hasil interaksi manusia dan persekitaran (Cano-Cappellacci, Durán, & Ii, 2015). Jesteru, perkembangan motor merangkumi perubahan tingkah laku pergerakan fizikal yang berlaku sepanjang hayat manusia iaitu bermula dari lahir sehinggalah kepada kematian.…”

Efecto de una intervención basada en realidad virtual sobre las habi lidades motrices básicas y control postural de niños con Síndrome de Down

“…Gross motor development was evaluated through the Test of Gross Development (TGMD-2) previously validated in Chilean population by Cano-Cappellacci, Leyton, & Carreño (2015) 19 and used in population with DS [11][12][13] . The TGMD-2 is used to identify deficits in gross motor development in children aged three to ten years, evaluating 12 skills grouped into two areas: locomotor skills and object control skills 20 .…”
