Motor Skills Assessments Flashcards
1
Q
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency
A
- adequate internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and interrater reliability
- established validity pertaining to content, internal structure, clinical groups, and relationships to other measures such as the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale
- can be used with clinical groups with developmental coordination disorder, mild to moderate mental retardation, or autism spectrum disorder
2
Q
Brake Reaction Timer
A
- measures time required to move foot from the accelerator to the brake in response to a stimulus such as a red light
- options available to expand test to complex or choice reaction time in responding to multiple stimuli
3
Q
Finger-to-Nose and Toe-Tap Tests

5
Q

- timed clinical test
- clients must walk 10 feet up and 10 feet back as fast as they feel safe and comfortable
