AB  - PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to adapt the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 
      (GMFM-88) for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Cerebral Visual Impairment 
      (CVI) and to determine the test-retest and interobserver reliability of the 
      adapted version. METHOD: Sixteen paediatric physical therapists familiar with CVI 
      participated in the adaptation process. The Delphi method was used to gain 
      consensus among a panel of experts. Seventy-seven children with CP and CVI (44 
      boys and 33 girls, aged between 50 and 144 months) participated in this study. To 
      assess test-retest and interobserver reliability, the GMFM-88 was administered 
      twice within three weeks (Mean=9 days, SD=6 days) by trained paediatric physical 
      therapists, one of whom was familiar with the child and one who wasn't. 
      Percentages of identical scores, Cronbach's alphas and intraclass correlation 
      coefficients (ICC) were computed for each dimension level. RESULTS: All experts 
      agreed on the proposed adaptations of the GMFM-88 for children with CP and CVI. 
      Test-retest reliability ICCs for dimension scores were between 0.94 and 1.00, 
      mean percentages of identical scores between 29 and 71, and interobserver 
      reliability ICCs of the adapted GMFM-88 were 0.99-1.00 for dimension scores. Mean 
      percentages of identical scores varied between 53 and 91. Test-retest and 
      interobserver reliability of the GMFM-88-CVI for children with CP and CVI was 
      excellent. Internal consistency of dimension scores lay between 0.97 and 1.00. 
      CONCLUSION: The psychometric properties of the adapted GMFM-88 for children with 
      CP and CVI are reliable and comparable to the original GMFM-88.
