Objective
To establish the test-retest reliability of linear and nonlinear measures, including intra- and intersession reliability, when used to analyze the center of pressure (COP) time series during the development of infant sitting postural control in infants with or at risk for cerebral palsy (CP).
Design
Longitudinal study.
Setting
University hospital laboratory.
Participants
Infants with or at risk for CP (N=18; mean age ± SD at entry into the study, 13.7±3.6mo).
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
Infant sitting COP data were recorded for 3 trials at each session (2 sessions for each month within 1 week) for 4 consecutive …
