“…They found that children with CP have difficulty stabilizing their head and controlling their trunk during movement, which can affect their ability to walk and perform daily activities independently. Recent studies also found that a rehabilitation program focused on trunk postural activities can improve trunk control and walking ability in children with CP [16,17]. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating and addressing trunk control in the rehabilitation of children with CP.…”

“…Trunk control has been shown to be a key function in the development of postural and movement control [8,9], seems to be related to the level of performance in the activities [10,11], and is also related to independence in self-care and mobility [12]. Wallard et al [13,14] and Pierret et al [15,16] investigated the importance of head and trunk control in children with CP. They found that children with CP have difficulty stabilizing their head and controlling their trunk during movement, which can affect their ability to walk and perform daily activities independently.…”

The Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) is a valid and reliable tool to assess static and dynamic trunk control in cerebral palsy . However, there is no evidence informing about differences between novice and expert raters. A cross-sectional study was conducted with participants between the ages of 6 and 18 years with a CP diagnosis. The TCMS Spanish version (TCMS-S) was administered in-person by an expert rater, and video recordings were taken for later scoring by the expert and three other raters with varying levels of clinical experience. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate reliability between raters for the total and subscales of the TCMS-S scores. Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) were also calculated. There was a high level of agreement between expert raters (ICC ≥ 0.93), while novice raters demonstrated good agreement (ICC > 0.72). Additionally, it was observed that novice raters had a slightly higher SEM and MDC than expert raters. The Selective Movement Control subscale exhibited slightly higher SEM and MDC values compared to the TCMS-S total and other subscales, irrespective of the rater’s level of expertise. Overall, the study showed that the TCMS-S is a reliable tool for evaluating trunk control in the Spanish pediatric population with cerebral palsy, regardless of the rater’s experience level.
