Abstract Aim To refine the Gross Motor Family Report (GM‐FR) using parents' input and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Method In this measurement study, 12 parents of children adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP), aged 2 18 years, classified in all levels Function Classification System (GMFCS), were interviewed about their experience completing GM‐FR (content validity). Parents' feedback was used measure which then completed by 146 families internal consistency, discriminative...
Gross motor development in the preschool phase depends on several factors that remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate whether level of habitual physical activity (HPA) and global cognitive function (CF) can be used as predictors gross skills Brazilian preschoolers verify their possible mediators. A cross-sectional was conducted with 166 children, aged 3–5 years. skills, HPA, CF mediators (e.g., sex, prematurity) were evaluated. Preschoolers little low CF, girls more likely...
