Abstract

Introduction: Sports-specific gross motor assessment is critical when identifying sporting opportunities for children with dis- abilities. This study investigated performance and concurrent validity for ambulant children with CP on the mainstream Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) with cerebral palsy (CP)-specific Gross Motor Function Measure-Challenge (GMFM-Challenge) and field tests of running, jumping, and throwing.
