Abstract

Aim: To determine the relationship between the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), valid for children aged 18 months to 18 years with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP), and the Mini-Assisting Hand Assessment (Mini-AHA), valid for children aged 8 months to 18 months, so results from the two tests can be compared.

Method: This psychometric study used AHA data from 157 children and Mini-AHA data from 86 children. In addition, data from children who had undertaken both the AHA and Mini-AHA assessments within a fixed time frame were sought. A Rasch measurement model analysis was conducted using a concurrent test linking technique when both tests have been undertaken by the same (common) persons.

Results: Data from 23 children who completed both assessments were added to previous AHA and Mini-AHA data. Using the combined data, the common person test linking Rasch analysis showed the AHA and Mini-AHA test results were not equivalent and a conversion table of Mini-AHA units to AHA units was needed.

Interpretation: Information from the conversion table will allow clinicians and researchers to measure changes in use of the affected hand during bimanual performance in children with unilateral CP from 8 months to 18 years.

单侧脑瘫儿童迷你辅助手评估与辅助手评估的关联。

目的：探讨适用于18个月至18岁单侧脑瘫（CP）患儿的辅助手评估（AHA）与适用于8个月至18个月患儿的迷你辅助手评估（Mini-AHA）之间的关系，以便对两项测试的结果进行比较。方法：本研究使用157名儿童的AHA数据和86名儿童的Mini-AHA数据。此外，还收集了在固定时间框架内接受美国心脏协会和mini -美国心脏协会评估的儿童的数据。当两个测试由同一（普通）人员进行时，使用并发测试链接技术进行了Rasch测量模型分析。结果：23名完成两项评估的儿童的数据被添加到先前的AHA和Mini-AHA数据中。使用合并数据，普通人试验链接Rasch分析显示AHA和Mini-AHA试验结果不相等，需要一个Mini-AHA单位到AHA单位的转换表。解释：来自转换表的信息将允许临床医生和研究人员测量8个月至18岁单侧CP儿童在双手活动期间受影响手的使用变化。
