- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The aim of the study is on the one hand to determine the test-retest and interrater reliability of the German version of the PBS in children with congenital or acquired neuromotor disorders. On the other hand, the convergent and discriminative validity is determined through the comparison of the PBS score with the TCMS, GMFM and FMS scores. <br>The two measurements take place 3-10 days apart from each other. The first time the PBS, GMFM, TCMS and FMS are performed and filmed, the second time, only the PBS is performed. The PBS is always conducted and evaluated by rater 1 (evaluation of the two PBS are minimum 3 weeks apart from each other), the other assessments are conducted and evaluated by rater 2. In addition rater 2 and 3 evaluate one of the PBS for each participant, to determine the inter-rater reliability.<br>
