Résumé
To describe the inter-observer reliability of the General Movement Assessment (GMA) among a sample of infants at high-risk of cerebral palsy (CP) among raters with various levels of experience. Video assessments of 150 high-risk infants at 10-15 weeks corrected age were rated by three Prechtl GMA-certified observers with varied experience using the assessment. Videos were scored based on temporal organization of fidgety movements (FMs), presence of abnormal FMs, or absence of FMs. Inter-observer agreements were analyzed with Gwet's AC1 statistic. We found fair to moderate agreement when subcategories of normal FMs (continuous and intermittent) were included (AC Caution may be warranted when the GMA is used to differentiate "continuous and intermittent" FMs temporal organization. The GMA is highly reliable among experienced raters when comparing normal FMs to other FMs categorizations.
