|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other | Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) | The WeeFIM-Item Locomotion (Walking) is scored by the primary nurse. | Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with measurements at admission and discharge. | |
| Other | 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) | For the evaluation of the construct validity of the FMS and the GFAQ, the 10MWT comfortable speed as well as maximal speed will be performed shortly before discharge on a 14-meter long track with standardized instructions. | Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with only one measurement at discharge. | |
| Other | 6-Minute walk test (6MinWT) | For the evaluation of the construct validity of the FMS and the GFAQ, the 6MinWT is performed shortly before discharge on a 30-meter long track with standardized instructions. | Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with only one measurement at discharge. | |
| Primary | Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) | The questionnaire is filled in independently by the parents, the primary nurse as well as the physiotherapist of each child. | Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with measurements at admission and discharge. | |
| Primary | Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire - Walking Scale (GFAQ) | The questionnaire is filled in independently by the parents, the primary nurse as well as the physiotherapist of each child. | Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with measurements at admission and discharge. | |
| Secondary | Global Rating Scale (GRS) | A global rating on the perceived change of the child's functional mobility over the rehabilitation period and whether this change is perceived as meaningful or not; on a 5-point Likert scale, scored by the parents and the physiotherapist. | Participants will be followed for the duration of the rehabilitation stay, an expected average of 12 weeks, with only one measurement at discharge. |
