Abstract

Background: Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) is a scale used to evaluate trunk control in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Objectives: The present study aimed at assessing the reliability of SATCo between a "live" scenario and video-recorded scores in children with CP (GMFCS levels III and IV). Methods: The study was observational in nature and aimed to evaluate the reliability of SATCo in assessing trunk control in 32 children aged between 2 to 11 years old with CP. This study only included children at GMFCS level III (n=19) or GMFCS level IV (n=13). Two raters (rater-1 and rater-2) evaluated the trunk control of each child using SATCo, and both raters scored the assessments retrospectively and independently using video recordings. Intra-rater reliability was calculated for each rater using Sperman’s rho for live versus video recordings, while inter-rater reliability was determined by estimating Spearman’s rho for the live scenario testing between the two raters. Results: Both the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the SATCo was good to excellent. The intra-rater reliability in our study ranged from 0.898 to 0.977, and the inter-rater reliability ranged from 0.827 to 0.913. All ICC values were excellent (≥0.9), except for one analysis where it was good (ICC = 0.795). Conclusion: SATCo is a reliable scale that can examine trunk control in children with CP belonging to GMFCS levels III and IV, aged 2-11 years.

脑性瘫痪儿童躯干控制的节段性评估的可靠性及其与年龄的一致性-一项横断面研究

背景:躯干控制分段评估(SATCo)是一种用于评估脑瘫(CP)患儿躯干控制的量表。目的:本研究旨在评估SATCo在CP儿童(GMFCS三级和四级)的“现场”场景和视频记录评分之间的可靠性。方法:本研究是观察性的，旨在评估SATCo在评估32名2至11岁CP儿童的主干控制方面的可靠性。本研究仅包括GMFCS三级(n=19)或GMFCS四级(n=13)的儿童。两名评分者(评分者1和评分者2)使用SATCo对每个儿童的躯干控制进行评估，两名评分者都使用录像对评估进行回顾性和独立评分。使用Sperman 's rho对现场和视频记录计算每个评分者的内部可靠性，而通过估计两个评分者之间的现场场景测试的Spearman 's rho来确定评分者之间的可靠性。结果:SATCo量表的量表间信度和量表内信度均为良至优。本研究的评分者内信度范围为0.898 ~ 0.977，评分者间信度范围为0.827 ~ 0.913。所有ICC值均为优(≥0.9)，除了一个分析为好(ICC = 0.795)。结论:SATCo是一种可靠的量表，可用于检查2 ~ 11岁小儿小儿CP GMFCS三级和四级的躯干控制情况。

期刊介绍： Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine encompasses all healing technologies other than those based on altering body chemistry (drugs) or integrity (surgery). The journal provides reviews of well-established diagnostic methods, clinical modalities and techniques and physical and rehabilitation medicine. The journal appears quarterly and includes from one to four articles that summarize and evaluate the current status of an important topic in the field of physical and rehabilitation medicine. Topics and authors are chosen by members of our distinguished Editorial Board, all of whom are leading practitioners, researchers, and active contributors to the literature in their area of expertise.
