Abstract

PURPOSE: This study determines the inter- and intra-rater reliability and convergent validity of the Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (CAMSA) for children with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD).

METHODS: Forty-one children aged 7 to 10 with CCHD were recruited from the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, Utrecht. The CAMSA and Movement-ABC-2 (M-ABC-2) were assessed concurrently. Four raters independently scored video recordings of the CAMSA at 2 moments at a 2-week interval.

RESULTS: The inter- and intra-rater reliability of the CAMSA was excellent with an ICC of 0.94 and 0.95, respectively. A nonstatistically significant trend was found between the CAMSA and the M-ABC-2.

CONCLUSIONS: The CAMSA is a reliable measurement for assessing complex motor skills in children aged 7 to 10 with CCHD. The convergent validity between the CAMSA and M-ABC-2 was nonsignificant suggesting these 2 tests measure different motor constructs.
