AB  - This study examined criterion-related validity and clinimetric properties of the 
      pediatric balance scale (PBS) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Forty-five 
      children with CP (age range: 19-77 months) and their parents participated in this 
      study. At baseline and at follow up, Pearson correlation coefficients were used 
      to determine criterion-related validity by analyzing the correlation between the 
      PBS, including PBS-static, PBS-dynamic, and PBS-total, and criterion measures, 
      including the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 items (GMFM-66) and Functional 
      Independence Measures for Children (WeeFIM). Responsiveness was examined by 
      paired t test and by standardized response mean (SRM). The minimal detectable 
      change (MDC) was analyzed at the 90% confidence level, and the minimal clinically 
      important differences (MCID) was estimated by anchor-based and distribution-based 
      approaches. The PBS with GMFM-66 and WeeFIM showed fair-to-excellent concurrent 
      validity at pretreatment and follow up and predictive validity. The SRM values of 
      all PBS scales were 0.75. For the PBS-static, PBS-dynamic, and PBS-total, the 
      MDC(90) values were 0.79, 0.96, and 1.59, and the MCID ranges were 1.47-2.92, 
      2.23-2.92, and 3.66-5.83, respectively. Improvement of at least MDC values on the 
      PBS can be considered a true change, not measurement error. A mean change must 
      exceed the MCID range on PBS to be considered clinically important change. 
      Therefore, all PBS scales were moderately responsive to change. Clinicians and 
      researchers can use these clinimetric data for PBS to determine if a change score 
      represents a true or clinically meaningful effect at posttreatment and follow up.
