Pediatr."],"abstract":"<jats:p>\n                    The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Second Edition (PDMS-2) is a valid and reliable instrument used in several countries, including Brazil, to assess gross and fine motor skills and identify motor deficits and eligibility for intervention for children with and without disabilities. However, the analysis of PDMS-2 items regarding the unidimensionality of the model, order of item difficulty, and whether the items portray the children's developmental trajectories still lacks investigation. Therefore, this study aims to: (1) analyze the unidimensionality of PDMS-2, (2) verify the model's capacity to explain the variance in the motor function responses, and (3) identify the level of difficulty of the items for Brazilian children. Children (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 637; 51% girls) newborn to 71 months (M age = 21.7,\n                    <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 18.6) were assessed using the PDMS-2. The Rasch analysis was conducted; the indexes of infit and outfit, and the point-biserial correlations coefficient were analyzed. The model unidimensionality was investigated using percentages of variance in the Rasch model (40% of variance). Results indicated that (1) for reflexes subscale, 62.5% of the items had correlations with the factor above 0.60, and two items had unadjusted infit and outfit; (2) for stationary subscale, 83.3% of the correlations of the items with the factor were above 0.50, and one item had unadjusted infit and outfit; (3) for locomotion subscale, 80.0% of the correlation of the items with the factor were above 0.50; all items had adequate infit and outfit; (4) for object manipulation subscale, 79.9% of the correlation of the items with the factor were above 0.50, and one item had unadjusted infit and outfit; (5) for grasping subscale, 92.3% of the correlation of the items with the factor were above 0.50, and one item had unadjusted infit and outfit; and (6) for the visual-motor integration subscale, 73.6% of the correlation of the items with the factor were above 0.50, and six items had unadjusted infit and outfit. The items with unadjusted fit were removed for further analysis. No changes in reliability and separation of items and people scores were observed without the unadjusted items; therefore, all items were maintained. A unidimensional model was found, and the reliability and discriminant capability of the items were adequate, and all items should be used to assess children. The PDMS-2 is appropriate for assessing Brazilian children.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2022.852732","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]],"date-time":"2022-04-20T09:54:36Z","timestamp":1650448476000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2: The Use of Rasch Analysis to Examine the Model Unidimensionality, Motor Function, and Item Difficulty"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Nadia Cristina","family":"Valentini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Larissa Wagner","family":"Zanella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2010.09.022","article-title":"Rasch analysis of the assessment of children's hand skills in children with and without disabilities","volume":"32","author":"Chien","year":"2011","journal-title":"Res Dev Disabil."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"345","DOI":"10.1097\/PEP.0b013e318267c5cf","article-title":"Concurrent validity of the Bayley-III and the Peabody developmental motor scale\u22122","volume":"24","author":"Connolly","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pediatr Phys Ther."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"595059","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2021.595059","article-title":"Methodological and statistical considerations for the National Children's Study","volume":"9","author":"Hays","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front Ped."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1966","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2013.03.010","article-title":"Motor profile of Portuguese preschool children on the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2: a cross-cultural study","volume":"34","author":"Saraiva","year":"2013","journal-title":"Res Dev Disabil."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.1590\/S0103-05822012000300011","article-title":"Preval\u00eancia de d\u00e9ficits motores e desordem coordenativa desenvolvimental em crian\u00e7as da regi\u00e3o Sul do Brasil","volume":"30","author":"Valentini","year":"2012","journal-title":"Rev Paul Pediatr."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.11606\/issn.2176-7262.v49i2p160-174","article-title":"Como funciona a Mem\u00f3ria de Trabalho?
