      Hi! In your notes, it states that GMFM has been validated on TBI (in addition to Downs & CP). I’m reading Campbells and they said that GMFM has not been validated in children with Acquired Brain Injury, even though it may provide PTs objective info for identifying children’s abilities & may assist with intervention planning. Thanks for your help!

      Hello Heidi!

      My reference for this statement comes from the CanChild website and from an article by Linder-Lucht et al, 2007.

      – CanChild: https://canchild.ca/en/resources/44-gross-motor-function-measure-gmfm
      – Linder-Lucht M, et al. Validation of the Gross Motor Function Measure for use in children and adolescents with traumatic brain injuries. Pediatrics. 2007;120:e880-886.
