OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interrater reliability of the Capacity Profile
(CAP) in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. DESIGN: Cross-sectional
study. SETTING: Six rehabilitation centers in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS:
Children (N=70) with permanent, nonprogressive neurodevelopmental disabilities.
INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. OUTCOME MEASURES: The CAP is a method to
classify additional care needs of children with nonprogressive neurodevelopmental
disabilities in 5 domains of body functions: physical health, motor functions,
sensory functions, mental functions, and voice/speech functions. The CAP was
scored independently by 2 trained physiatrists during an outpatient visit.
Interrater reliability was evaluated using an intraclass correlation coefficient
(ICC). RESULTS: Interrater reliability of the CAP is as follows: physical
functions, ICC=.74; motor functions, ICC=.85; sensory functions, ICC=.61; mental
functions, ICC=.85; and voice/speech functions, ICC=.79. CONCLUSIONS: These
findings support the interrater reliability of the CAP, when scored during a
visit to the rehabilitation center.
