Selective motor control of the lower extremities in children with cerebral palsy: Inter-rater reliability of two tests
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the inter-rater reliability of two tests measuring selective motor control (SMC) of the lower extremities in children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: Two testers independently assessed 21 children (13 boys, eight girls; mean age 6 years 5 months, SD 12 months) with spastic CP (14 unilateral and seven bilateral) using the Boyd and Graham SMC test (with an existing protocol) and the modified Trost SMC test (with a newly developed protocol). Inter-rater reliability was analysed using Cohen's Kappa. RESULTS: For the Boyd and Graham SMC test for ankle dorsiflexion, Kappa was 0.55 (95% CI = 0.36-0.74). For the modified Trost SMC test for ankle dorsiflexion, knee extension, hip abduction and hip flexion, Kappas were 0.65 (0.47-0.84), 0.69 (0.49-0.88), 0.57 (0.37-0.78) and 0.71 (0.51-0.91), respectively. CONCLUSION: The SMC tests showed moderate (Boyd and Graham SMC test) to good (modified Trost SMC test) inter-rater reliability.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
