“…The assessment score for each item was measured from individualized criterion from 1 (severely abnormal) through to 5 (consistently normal), after which the relative score for each performance items were shown in percentages of maximum performable score (%)13 ) . The validity coefficient for applying GMPM on children with cerebral palsy was 0.74–0.84 and the measurement tool was reported to be useful14 ) . Functional independence measure for children, a revised version of functional independence measure, was developed to measure the functional level of independence of normal children (6 months–8 yrs), developmental disorder (6 months–12 yrs) or children under 7 years of mental age, and it can be used regardless of one’s health condition, development stage, level of education, and environment of the local community15 ) .…”

[Purpose] This study investigates how a task-oriented training and high-variability practice program can affect the gross motor performance and activities of daily living for children with spastic diplegia and provides an effective and reliable clinical database for future improvement of motor performances skills. [Subjects and Methods] This study randomly assigned seven children with spastic diplegia to each intervention group including that of a control group, task-oriented training group, and a high-variability practice group. The control group only received neurodevelopmental treatment for 40 minutes, while the other two intervention groups additionally implemented a task-oriented training and high-variability practice program for 8 weeks (twice a week, 60 min per session). To compare intra and inter-relationships of the three intervention groups, this study measured gross motor performance measure (GMPM) and functional independence measure for children (WeeFIM) before and after 8 weeks of training. [Results] There were statistically significant differences in the amount of change before and after the training among the three intervention groups for the gross motor performance measure and functional independence measure. [Conclusion] Applying high-variability practice in a task-oriented training course may be considered an efficient intervention method to improve motor performance skills that can tune to movement necessary for daily livelihood through motor experience and learning of new skills as well as change of tasks learned in a complex environment or similar situations to high-variability practice.

This study was performed to examine the convergent and discriminant validity of the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS), a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). A total of 38 children (age, 4 to 10 years) with spastic CP who could ambulate participated in this study. PBS, equilibrium scores of Sensory Organization Test derived from computerized dynamic posturography, Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) mobility skills were evaluated. With regard to convergent validity, PBS total score was moderately correlated with equilibrium score under the condition with eyes open, fixed foot support and condition with eyes closed, fixed foot support (rs = 0.579, eye open; rs = 0.448, eye closed; p < 0.05). PBS total score was highly correlated with GMFM scores (dimensions D and E; total GMFM-88; and GMFM-66) and capability, of the PEDI mobility domain, and moderately correlated with performance of the PEDI mobility domain. Discriminant validity indicated that PBS total score can distinguish between different Gross Motor Function Classification Scale levels in children with CP. PBS can be considered a simple, valid scale for examining functional balance capacity in children with spastic CP. Furthermore, it can better predict motor capacity and capability than equilibrium score and motor performance.

| Abstract |1 )PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine how task-oriented training focused on lower extremity strengthening can affect mobility function and postural stability. METHODS:The study's subjects included 10 children with cerebral palsy: 7 girls and 3 boys between the ages of 4 and 9 whose Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) level was I or II. Their functional mobility was gauged using the Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM), and their postural stability was evaluated using a force platform. Participants received task-oriented training focused on lower extremity strengthening for 5 weeks. The study used a paired t-test to investigate the difference in mobility function and postural stability of children with cerebral palsy before and after the lower extremity strengthening exercise. RESULTS:The GMFM dimensions D (standing) (p<.02) and E (walking) (p<.001) improved significantly between the pre-test and post-test. A significant increase in the posturographic center of pressure (CoP) shift and surface area of the † Corresponding Author : choiye00@naver.com This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.CoP were found overall between the pre-test and post-test (p<.001). CONCLUSION:The present study provides evidence that an 8-week task-oriented training focused on strengthening the lower extremities is an effective and feasible strategy for improving the mobility function and postural stability of children with cerebral palsy.
