Abstract
AIM: To determine the interrater reliability and stability of the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), mini-Manual Ability Classification System (mini-MACS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), and Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) in individuals with
METHODS: Data were collected from 83 individuals with
RESULTS: Interrater agreement varied from 73.8% to 77.3% for the
INTERPRETATION: The GMFCS, MACS/MiniMACS, and CFCS demonstrate appropriate levels of interrater reliability and stability for individuals with
WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Classification tools are reliable and stable in individuals with
