|
Objective : The purpose of this study is intended to provide useful information about the disability evaluation indicators, the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) as a measurement tool for assessing the ability to perform activities of daily living through the correlation between the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).
Methods : The subject was 82 children with cerebral palsy. The validity was aexamined by calculation of correlation between the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).
Results : There were a good significant correlation between the MBI and MACS (r = -.765, p <0.001), the MBI and the GMFCS (r = -.851, p < 0.001) and the MACS and the GMFCS (r = .615, p <0.001).
Conclusion : The close correlation between the MBI that is used as the basis of grading cerebral palsy and high reliability and validity of the MACS, GMFCS suggest that disability evaluation indicators, the MBI could be useful for children with disabilities.
