Inter-Rater Reliability of the Gross Motor Function Measure

The purpose of this study was to examine the inter-rater reliability of the Korean translation of the GMFM(Gross Motor Function Measure). There licensed physical therapists with varying amounts(2 - 6 years) of clinical experience served as raters. Thirty patients with cerebral palsy were subjects for this study. Subjects were 22 boys and 8 girls, aged 1 to 8 years. Reliability of each dimension and each total score of the GMGM were analyzed using ICCs(intraclass correlation coefficients). The reliability of each dimension score ranged from 76 to 98, with the walking, running, and jumping dimension having higher reliability values. The reliability of the total dimension score was 94. We conclude that GMFM has inter-rater reliability for assessing gross motor function in patients with cerebral palsy.
