X Abstract

The development of a clinical instrument to assess static and dynamic postural control in sitting in children with neuromotor dysfunction is described. A review of the literature has supported the need for objective assessment tools for measuring various aspects of functioning with this population. In this paper the conceptual basis and preliminary validation study results of a new instrument, the Sitting Assessment for Children with Neuromotor Dysfunction (SACND) are presented. Initial results show the SACND to have good inter-rater reliability, and discriminant validity. Construct validity testing suggest the SACND shows promise for use by clinicians and researchers. Further research is needed to assess the SACND's test-retest reliability, the major underlying test constructs, and the effects of intervention on test scores.
