Comparative StudyEvaluation of a parent-report diary of the home use of assistive devices by young children with cerebral palsy.
To develop and evaluate the preliminary measurement properties of a parent-report diary of the home use of seating and mobility devices by young children with cerebral palsy (CP). ⋯ The HUTCH diary shows promise as a reliable and practical way to record the frequency and number of hours that children use different types of seating and mobility-related devices at home. Testing the concurrent validity of the HUTCH diary against an acceptable criterion measure will improve its acceptance as measure of AT device use.
