Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of an integrative scoring method for assessing manual dexterity in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
Assessed manual dexterity using the Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function (JTTHF) with traditional and integrative scores.
Compared performance discrimination between the integrative score and traditional scores.
Evaluated responsiveness of both scoring methods in children with uncomplicated cerebral palsy (UCP).
The integrative score demonstrated reliable performance discrimination in assessing manual dexterity.
Both scoring methods showed responsiveness in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.

Implication

Demonstrates a new scoring method improves dexterity assessment in children with cerebral palsy, indicating its usefulness.

Abstract

Our findings support the use of the integrative score for assessing manual dexterity in children with TDC, demonstrating reliable performance discrimination. Both scores showed responsiveness in children with UCP. Therefore, we recommend the integrative score for assessing dexterity with JTTHF.
