The Validity and Reliability of the Seated Postural Control Measure in Cerebral Palsy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To establish the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM-TR) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: The original version of the Seated Postural Control Measure was translated and culturally adapted according to international guidelines. The participants were 124 children with CP, with a mean age of 8.6 ± 2.6 years. The measures were administered by 2 independent physical therapists twice, 1 week apart. Convergent validity was evaluated with the sitting dimension of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), whereas construct validity was evaluated with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Cronbach's alpha values of the alignment and function subscales and total score were 0.83, 0.89, and 0.91, respectively. Correlations between SPCM-TR total scores and GMFCS (-0.92) and GMFM (0.91) scores were very good. The intraclass correlation coefficient was excellent (0.90) for intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. The results indicate that the SPCM-TR is a valid and reliable scale in children with CP.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
