Brief summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the reliability of the Melbourne Assessment.

Detailed description

Children with central motor disorders will be tested twice within one week with the Melbourne Assessment. The assessments will be video scored. At a later time point, different raters will rate the same video for inter-rater reliability, the same rater will score the same video for intra-rater reliability, and the same rater will score the repeated assessment videos for test-retest reliability.
