I work with children after operation in posterior fossa tumor. I´d like to find any scale for evaluating gross motor function which is focused on cerebellas skils in gross motor.
I´ve found the normative data for SARA and Nine Hole Peg test and I need some test for gross motor skills.
If anyone wants to join to these activity and futer research about these childs it would be pleasure for me to cooperate.
Dear Katerina,
could't you just use the Movement Assessment Battery for Children?
Dear Katerina,
You could also use the bruininks-oseretsky test of motor proficiency. I have used it quite extensively. It's really thorough and will give you some measurement of both fine and gross motor skills.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Dear Katerina,
I would recommend you to use Bruininks-oseretsky test of motor proficiency (BOMPT or BOT II). As Johann mentioned it has gross as well as fine motor skills assessment. It has activities in gross motor section like standing on a balance beam with eyes open, eyes closed, in a tandem stance and many others and I am sure it will be helpful in assessing coordination for children with cerebellar disorders in children like posterior fossa tumor.
Regards,
Dear Katerina,
another options is the TGMD-2. It is a specific test for Gross Motor Development.

Best regards.
Dear Katerina,
You can also use Peabody developmental assessment Scale second edition. it will give you precise picture of gross motor skills and also visuo-motor coordination etc
Thank you very much for your recommendations:) It was really helpful! We chose BOT-2.
Do you know, if there is necessery to use special programs for scoring with payed access, or it is also possible to score manualy according the BOT-2 manual?
Thanks a lot!
Have nice spring days
