A general approach to movements and functional assessment for pediatrics rehabilitation

Abstract

The use of measurement tools in rehabilitation has an important role. For clinicians, measurements provide important information to support effective clinical reasoning. This study aimed to establish current kinesiological assessment for evaluation of children with movement disorders. A number of assessment tools including, tone measurement, functional measurement, assessment of range of motion, reflex testing, fine and gross motions and sensory testing have been proposed for evaluation of children movements. In summary, it has been discussed some important measurement tools for evaluation of pediatrics movements in the present article.
