Self-care independence was evaluated with the Functional Independence Measure for children (WeeFIM). Upper extremity SVMC was quantified with the Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES), a similarity index (SISCUES) calculated from simultaneously recorded surface electromyography muscle activity patterns, and an accuracy and involuntary movement score derived from an inertial-measurement-unit\u2013based assessgame. The Trunk Control Measurement Scale was applied and upper extremity spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale) and strength (dynamometry) were assessed. To determine the relative importance of these factors for self-care independence, 3 regression models were created: 1 included only upper extremity SVMC measures, 1 included upper extremity and trunk SVMC measures (overall SVMC model), and 1 included all measures (final self-care model).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the upper extremity SVMC model (total variance explained 52.5%), the assessgame (30.7%) and SCUES (16.5%) were more important than the SISCUES (4.5%). In the overall SVMC model (75.0%), trunk SVMC (39.0%) was followed by the assessgame (21.1%), SCUES (11.0%), and SISCUES (4.5%). In the final self-care model (82.1%), trunk control explained 43.2%, upper extremity SVMC explained 23.1%, spasticity explained 12.3%, and strength explained 2.3%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although upper extremity SVMC explains a substantial portion of self-care independence, overall trunk control was even more important.
