Abstract

PURPOSE: To translate and investigate the reliability and validity of the Greek version of the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS).

METHODS: FMS was translated into Greek. Test-retest reliability (Cohen's weighted kappa coefficient,

RESULTS: The translation of the FMS was deemed easy to understand and administer. The Greek FMS was demonstrated to have almost perfect test-retest reliability (

CONCLUSIONS: The Greek version of the FMS was shown to be a reliable and valid classification system for CP and can be used with confidence by Greek physical therapists.Implications for rehabilitationThe FMS provides a very simple and practical outcome measure of functional mobility in children with CP.The use of the reliable and valid Greek FMS will enhance the physical therapy assessment process in the Greek population, by offering the feasibility to detect the motor performance changes in children with CP as they grow or following interventions.The current study renders the Greek FMS available for utilization by physical therapists in order to quantify the independent mobility in children with CP.
