Materials and methods: Between November 2016 and March 2017, a total of 109 pediatric CP patients (62 males, 47 females; mean age 9.3±2.9 years; range, 6 to 15 years) followed in our outpatient clinic were included. The demographic characteristics and type of CP of the patients were recorded. A functional evaluation was made using the ABILHAND-Kids and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) surveys. The reliability of the surveys was tested based on internal consistency (Cronbach's ?) and test-retest (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]) methods. The validity of the approach was evaluated using converted scores from an ABILHAND-Kids Rasch analysis and a correlation of the MACS levels. Results: The ICC value for the test/retest reliability was 0.98 and internal consistency was 0.94. A strong negative correlation was found between the Turkish version of the ABILHAND-Kids and MACS surveys (r=-0.849; p<0.001). A Rasch analysis indicated good item fit, unidimensionality, and model fit. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the ABILHAND-Kids survey is a reliable and valid scale for the assessment of manual ability in Turkish children with CP. © 2020 All right reserved by the Turkish Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited and is not used for commercial purposes (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/).en10.5606/TFTRD.2021.4091info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessABILHAND-kidsCerebral palsyReliabilityTurkishValiditybotulinum toxinadolescentArticleautismbrain ischemiacerebral palsychildcorrelation coefficientdaily life activityemotionalityfemaleGross Motor Function Classification Systemhealth care surveyhumaninternal consistencyinterrater reliabilitymajor clinical studymalemuscle strengthmuscle weaknessoutpatient departmentpatient satisfactionpsychometryquality of lifequestionnaireRasch analysisreliabilityTurk (people)validityArticle6644444514207312-s2.0-85100466633Q3
