“…These results may imply that if the same rater performs the assessment, the results of the face-to-face, tele- or video-based assessments may be very similar or the same, but if different raters are involved in the tele-assessment, the reliability may decrease. Another reason for the decrement may be that the children with BPBI use compensatory strategies while performing movements (Delioğlu et al., 2022b). Therefore, it is more reliable for patients to be followed up by tele-assessment and to be evaluated by the same person or a limited number of staff from the same team.…”

The modified Mallet classification is widely used to measure motor function in brachial plexus birth injuries. The aim of the study was to investigate agreement and reliability of this classification under three different evaluation conditions: face-to-face; live tele-assessment; and delayed video-based assessment. A total of 100 children aged 4–15 years were included. Children were assessed by two raters except for live tele-assessment, which was performed by four raters. Agreement between the three different assessment conditions for the same rater were between strong and excellent for both raters 1 and 2. The interrater reliability for raters 1 and 2 under different assessment conditions was strong to excellent. Interrater reliability among the four raters was moderate to strong in tele-assessment. The modified Mallet classification may have appropriate reliability to be used in remote medical follow-up. Level of evidence: III
