Test-retest, internal consistency (item-total score correlation, Cronbach's alpha coefficient) intra-rater, and inter-rater reliability were investigated for the reliability of the CB&M. For intra-rater and inter-rater reliability, CB&M measurements of 34 PwMS were videotaped. The validity of the CB&M was assessed through criterion (predictive and concurrent validity) and construct validity. Construct validity was evaluated using hypothesis testing which included examining correlations with EDSS, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), and Dynamic Gait Index (DGI).Results: Test-retest reliability demonstrated a good to excellent correlation (ICC = 0.995, p < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha was 0.971 (p < 0.001). Intra-rater (ICC = 0.993, p < 0.001) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.986, p < 0.001) of the CB&M were also good to excellent. Cohen's kappa range values of the scale vary between 0.958 - 0.665, and the percentage agreement varies between 97% and 75%. For the convergent validity of CB&M, strong correlations were observed with EDSS (r=-0.831, p < 0.001), TUG (r=-0.854, p < 0.001), and DGI (r = 0.865, p < 0.001). Additionally, the CB&M demonstrated an excellent correlation with the BBS (r = 0.907, p < 0.001). The scale exhibited no floor-ceiling effect.Conclusion: CB&M is a reliable and valid tool for assessing balance and mobility in PwMS and offers significant advantages for evaluating balance in PwMS, as it provides comprehensive information about the balance and mobility requirements essential for community living.","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, access to formal training in GMA is limited in low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico. This study aimed to validate the Spanish version of the General Movement checklist (GMC), a tool designed to facilitate the evaluation of general movements, particularly for clinicians with limited experience.Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted on infants with high neurological risk. The inter- and intra-observer reliability of GMC in its original version was analyzed using Cohen's kappa test. The checklist was translated and cross-cultural adapted to Spanish following international guidelines. Its internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha test. Content validity was determined by a panel of experts (the content validity index (CVI)), criterion and predictive validity were determined using the General Movement Optimality Score-Revised (GMOS-R) and the clinical diagnosis at 2 years corrected age. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to identify the cut-off points on the GMC.Results: Intra-observer reliability (Kappa = 0.91) and inter-observer reliability (Kappa = 0.75-1.0) demonstrated excellent agreement. Cronbach's alpha was 0.8579. Content validity was strong, with all items achieving a CVI > 0.7. Predictive validity showed high sensitivity (90%) and specificity (92%) when comparing checklist results with the clinical diagnosis.Conclusions: The Spanish version of the GMC was validated as a reliable and valid tool to guide the early assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders in Mexican infants. Further studies are recommended to confirm these findings.","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated the difference on demographic, clinical and laboratory data between the patients with sporadic CJD (sCJD) and genetic CJD (gCJD).Methods: Thirty-eight patients with CJD were enrolled in this study, including 28 patients with sCJD and 10 patients with gCJD. All patients were administered cognitive tests, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalogram (EEG), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 14-3-3 protein.Results: The patients with sCJD had similar onset age, mean death and survival time to the patients with gCJD. There were slightly more males in the patients with sCJD than in the patients with gCJD (p = 0.095). The percentages of onset symptoms were similar between sCJD and gCJD groups. Patients with sCJD had more parkinsonism than patients with gCJD on neurological examinations (p = 0.037). The patients with gCJD also had slightly more disinhibitation than the patients with sCJD (p = 0.090). There were similar abnormalities percentages on MRI, EEG, and CSF 14-3-3 protein. The gCJD patients had more widespread cortex abnormalities involving the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobe, compared with the sCJD patients (p = 0.012).Conclusion: The patients with sCJD had similar epidemiological and clinical characteristics to the patients with gCJD, except more parkinsonism signs and less widespread cortex abnormalities on MRI.","PeriodicalId":7042,"journal":{"name":"Acta neurologica Belgica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
