“…Eleven institutionalized Brazilian children and adolescents (5 males, 6 females) aged 2-19 years (mean, 14 ± 5 years) were evaluated using dimensions A through D of the Brazilian version of the GMFM-88 (lying and rolling, crawling and kneeling, sitting, standing, and walk-run-jump activities) 27 . Scores for each item ranged from 0 (subject does not initiate the activity) to 3 (subject completes the activity), with intermediate scores (1 and 2) describing partial performance 22 .…”

“…For the GMFM-88 total score, ICC was set at 0.99 for all ABI participants [30]. For participants with CP, ICC was set at 0.99 for the subgroups with GMFCS I-II and III and at 0.94 for GMFCS IV [31]. For the GMFM-88 dimensions "D" and "E," ICC was set at 0.99 for both ABI [30] and CP participants [31].…”

Objective. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is a standard way of measuring clinical relevance. The objective of this work was to establish the MCID for the 6-minute walking test (6minWT) and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) in pediatric gait disorders. Methods. A cohort, pretest-posttest study was conducted in a hospitalized care setting. A total of 182 patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) or cerebral palsy (CP) performed 20 robot-assisted gait training sessions complemented with 20 sessions of physical therapy over 4 weeks. Separate MCIDs were calculated using 5 distribution-based approaches, complemented with an anonymized survey completed by clinical professionals. Results. The MCID range for the 6minWT was 20-38 m in the ABI cohort, with subgroup ranges of 20-36 m for GMFCS I-II, 23-46 m for GMFCS III, and 24-46 m for GMFCS IV. MCIDs for the CP population were 6-23 m, with subgroup ranges of 4-28 m for GMFCS I-II, 9-19 m for GMFCS III, and 10-27 m for GMFCS IV. For GMFM-88 total score, MCID values were 1.1%-5.3% for the ABI cohort and 0.1%-3.0% for the CP population. For dimension “D” of the GMFM, MCID ranges were 2.3%-6.5% and 0.8%-5.2% for ABI and CP populations, respectively. For dimension “E,” MCID ranges were 2.8%-6.5% and 0.3%-4.9% for ABI and CP cohorts, respectively. The survey showed a large interquartile range, but the results well mimicked the distribution-based methods. Conclusions. This study identified for the first time MCID ranges for 6minWT and GMFM-88 in pediatric patients with neurological impairments, offering useful insights for clinicians to evaluate the impact of treatments. Distribution-based methods should be used with caution: methods based on pre-post correlation may underestimate MCID when applied to patients with small improvements over the treatment period. Our results should be complemented with estimates obtained using consensus- and anchor-based approaches.

“…Volunteers were recruited by verbal and digital invitation. Participants were considered eligible for the study if they were 18 to 60 years old, if their children had been diagnosed with CP and were between six and 18 years old 23 . Children using bracing on upper extremities or with comprehension difficulties on simple verbal commands were excluded.…”
