Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review a variety of tests and measures that are useful in documenting and quantifying the outcomes of intervention for persons with cerebral palsy. The topics included are (1) a discussion of the need for meaningful outcome measures, (2) a model of the disabling process for classifying measures used to assess several different dimensions of disablement, and (3) a review of selected tests and measures categorized according to the model described.
