Abstract

Purpose: To examine inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Head Control Scale (HCS).

Methods: Introduction of the HCS to eight physical therapists in a pediatric post-acute hospital was followed by use in a repeated-measures design across two trials to establish reliability of the raters. Therapists scored the HCS twice within 4 weeks, using videos of infants at both 2 and 6 months of age, one infant described as typically developing and one with atypical development.

Results: For the HCS overall score, reliability was excellent with an inter-rater reliability intraclass correlation coefficient ((ICC) (3,1) = 0.97 (95% confidence interval, 0.899-0.998) and intra-rater reliability ICC (3,1) range = 0.815-1.0. HCS position scores between and within raters ranged from slight to substantial agreement.

Conclusion: In this small study of inter- and intra-rater reliability, HCS overall score demonstrated excellent reliability for all raters however, HCS position scores demonstrated some variability, especially for the prone position.

头部控制量表的内部和内部信度:简要报告。

目的:检验头部控制量表(HCS)的内部信度和内部信度。方法:将HCS介绍给一家儿科急症后医院的8名物理治疗师，然后在两项试验中使用重复测量设计来建立评分者的可靠性。治疗师在4周内对HCS进行两次评分，使用2个月和6个月大的婴儿的视频，一个婴儿被描述为典型发育，一个是非典型发育。结果:HCS总分信度优异，组内信度相关系数(ICC)(3,1) = 0.97(95%置信区间0.899 ~ 0.998)，组内信度ICC(3,1)范围= 0.815 ~ 1.0。评分者之间和内部的HCS位置评分从轻微一致到实质性一致。结论:在这个评估者之间和内部信度的小型研究中，HCS总体评分对所有评估者都表现出极好的信度，然而HCS体位评分表现出一些可变性，尤其是俯卧位。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
