dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to develop an evaluative instrument for pediatric physical and occupational therapists to measure change in seated postural control of children and youth with Neuromotor Disorders in the context of Therapeutic Horseback Riding/Hippotherapy (THR/HPT). A clinical evaluation tool, known as the Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM) was identified as the most feasible outcome measure that could be adapted for the purpose of measuring posture control during THR/ HPT in children and youth with Neuromotor Disorders. The study contained three phases: Phase 1: preparing a preliminary version of the measure; Phase 2: examining content validity of the measure in a Nominal Group workshop conducted in Brazil, as well as through online consensus surveys with acknowledged experts in THR/HPT in Canada; and Phase 3: reliability testing. The reliability tests demonstrated excellent ICC results. For test-retest reliability 1 item scored .74, and 21 items <. 85. For inter-rater reliability 6 items scored between .81 and .90 and 16 items < .90en_US
