Abstract

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a developmental-neurological disorder that is common in children. As children with CP have several problems and limitations regarding locomotion and mobility, accessing an assessment tool for measuring mobility is crucial. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the 47-item mobility questionnaire in Iranian children with cerebral palsy between 6 and 12 years of age in Tehran, Iran September 2019. Methods: In this psychometric study, 202 participants (84 girls and 118 boys, with a mean age of 95.92 months ± 23.73), 15 parents, and nine occupational therapists participated. A multistage sampling method was used. Content, construct, convergent, and face validity were estimated. Internal validity and test-retest reliability were studied, too. The convergent validity of MobQ was studied according to the gross motor functions classification scale (GMFCS). Results: The results showed that all items of the 47-item mobility questionnaire had a content validity higher than the minimum acceptable value (0.78 for CVR and 0.79 for CVI). Further, based on the opinions of 9 experts and 15 persons completing the questionnaire, an understandable and unambiguous questionnaire was reported regarding face validity. The evaluation of the intragroup correlation coefficient's reliability in this study also showed that ICC was 0.998 and Cronbach's alpha coefficient value was 0.996. A Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.937 was obtained to assess the convergent validity of the Persian version of the "Mobility Questionnaire" and the Gross Motor Skills Classification Scale. Conclusions: The results of this study, therefore, showed that the Persian version of the 47-item mobility questionnaire had good psychometric characteristics for children with CP between 6 and 12 years of age. Therefore, this questionnaire can be suitable for measuring children's mobility in research and clinical studies.

波斯版47项脑瘫儿童行动能力问卷的心理测量特性

背景：脑瘫是一种常见于儿童的发育性神经系统疾病。由于CP儿童在运动和行动能力方面存在一些问题和局限性，因此获得测量行动能力的评估工具至关重要。目的：本研究旨在评估波斯版47项行动问卷在伊朗德黑兰6至12岁脑瘫儿童中的心理测量特性。方法：在这项心理测量研究中，202名参与者（84名女孩和118名男孩，平均年龄95.92个月±23.73）、15名父母和9名职业治疗师参与了研究。采用了多级抽样方法。对内容、结构、收敛性和面孔有效性进行了评估。内部有效性和重测信度也进行了研究。根据毛运动功能分类量表（GMFCS）对MobQ的收敛有效性进行了研究。结果：47项流动性问卷的所有项目的内容有效性均高于最低可接受值（CVR为0.78，CVI为0.79）。此外，根据9名专家和15名完成问卷的人员的意见，报告了一份关于面部有效性的可理解和明确的问卷。本研究对组内相关系数的可靠性评估也表明，ICC为0.998，Cronbachα系数值为0.996。Spearman相关系数为0.937，用于评估波斯版“流动性问卷”和总运动技能分类量表的收敛有效性。结论：因此，本研究的结果表明，波斯版的47项行动问卷对6-12岁的CP儿童具有良好的心理测量特征。因此，该问卷可用于研究和临床研究中测量儿童的行动能力。
