Abstract

Objectives Children affected with spastic Cerebral palsy suffering a lot of movement and balance difficulties. Balance is one of the essential variables of movement, which facilitates functional skills. The main purpose of this study was inter-rater & Test-retest reliability of Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) in children with spastic Cerebral palsy. Materials & Methods In this analytical-descriptive research performed in the rehabilitation centers, south of Tehran, Iran in 2016, psychometric method was used. For investigating the Inter-rater reliability, two examiners performed the scale simultaneously with 50 children with spastic Cerebral palsy. Moreover, to investigate the Test-retest reliability, the scale was implemented by one examiner, in two different sessions, among 50 children with spastic Cerebral palsy. There was a two-week period between the first and the second session. Results The Inter-rater reliability (ICC=0. 99), as well as the Test-retest reliability (ICC=0. 99), was quite high. Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) was acceptable for either test-retest or Inter-rater reliability. Conclusion PBS is appropriate for measuring Functional balance in children with spastic Cerebral palsy with mild to moderate motor impairment.
