Résumé :	AIM ABILHAND-Kids is a parent-reported questionnaire measuring manual ability in childrenwith cerebral palsy (CP). Its psychometric properties have been established, with theexception of responsiveness, which is examined here. METHOD In this cohort study, 98 children (46 males, 52 females; range 6–19y, mean 11y,standard deviation [SD] 3.3y) with unilateral CP underwent three assessments of upper extremity function: at baseline (T1); after 80 to 90 hours of intensive training (T2); and atfollow-up (T3). The responsiveness was analyzed using global, group (based on age and onManual Ability Classification System [MACS] level), and individual approaches during two time periods (T1–T2 and T2–T3). Effect size was used to quantify magnitude of changes. RESULTS The global approach showed significant improvements between T1 and T2(p<0.001) but not between T2 and T3 (p=0.222). In the group analyses, effect size and SRM demonstrated large changes in younger children (6–12y, n=52, mean change=1.06 logit, effectsize >0.8) and small changes in the older children (13–19y, n=46, mean change=0.71 logit, effect size >0.4). Children in MACS level II demonstrated larger changes than children in MACS level I or III. INTERPRETATION The ABILHAND-Kids exhibited responsiveness in detecting changes after intensive training. Therefore, this scale is potentially useful in assessing the functional status of children with unilateral CP in clinical trials.
