TI  - Locomotor tests predict community mobility in children and youth with cerebral 
      palsy.
PG  - 266-77
AB  - Ambulatory children and youth with cerebral palsy have limitations in locomotor 
      capacities and in community mobility. The ability of three locomotor tests to 
      predict community mobility in this population (N = 49, 27 boys, 6-16 years old) 
      was examined. The tests were a level ground walking test, the 6-min-Walk-Test 
      (6MWT), and two tests of advanced locomotor capacities, the 
      10-meter-Shuttle-Run-Test (10mSRT) and the Timed-Up-and-Down-Stairs-Test (TUDS). 
      Community mobility was measured with the Assessment of Life Habits mobility 
      category. After age and height were controlled, regression analysis identified 
      10mSRT and TUDS values as significant predictors of community mobility. They 
      explained about 40% of the variance in the Life Habits mobility category scores. 
      The 10mSRT was the strongest predictor (standardized Beta coefficient = 0.48, p = 
      0.002). The 6MWT was not a significant predictor. Thus, advanced locomotor 
      capacity tests may be better predictors of community mobility in this population 
      than level ground walking tests.
