![]() 8 It has excellent interrater and retest reliability in adolescents and young adults, is more responsive than other adult mobility scales, and is less susceptible to a ceiling effect. A revised version of the HiMAT was developed using Rasch analysis to enhance the discriminative properties of the HiMAT to evaluate high-level gross motor skills for people with TBI. 7 Performance times or distances are recorded and scored for each item on a standard score sheet, with higher scores representing better performance. 6 The HiMAT comprises mobility items that include running, jumping, skipping, and hopping. The High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) was developed for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) to quantify the mobility requirements of young adults for social, leisure, sporting, and employment activities. 2 Limitations of outcome measures used to assess gross motor skills are related to ceiling effects in measures such as the Gross Motor Function Measure and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) 3, 4 and the lack of suitable test items for mobility tasks in the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. Physical therapists working with children with mobility limitations need to be able to evaluate a child’s high-level gross motor skills to determine their capacity to engage in the recommended levels of moderate intensity physical activity. 1 High-level gross motor skills, including running, skipping, jumping, and hopping, are fundamental for children to participate in sport and leisure activities and engage in moderate intensity physical activity as per these recommendations.
