The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) for children with cerebral palsy: scale development and evidence of validity and reliability

Ann‐Christin Eliasson, Lena Krumlinde‐Sundholm, Birgit Rösblad et al. · 19 Jun 2006

The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) has been developed to classify how children with cerebral palsy (CP) use their hands when handling objects in daily activities.

Validation was based on…

The aim of this study was to validate the expanded and revised Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS-E&R) for children and youth with cerebral palsy using group consensus methods. Eighteen physical therapists participated in a nominal group technique to evaluate the draft version of a 12- to 18-year age band. Subsequently, 30 health professionals from…
