Evaluation of cutaneous and proprioceptive sensation in children: a reliability study.

Abstract:

:Forty-three healthy children aged between six and 12 years were tested to determine the intra-rater reliability of four clinical cutaneous and proprioceptive sensory assessment tools: touch pressure, vibration perception, thermal discrimination and kinaesthesis. The tests were carried out bilaterally on proximal and distal upper- and lower- extremity sites. The mean intraclass coefficients represented good to excellent reliability, which suggests that these assessment tools allow objective and reproducible measurements of cutaneous and proprioceptive sensation in children. The results were compared with existing data in the literature: in general, children and adults obtain similar sensory scores, and sex, age and laterality have no significant effect on the results for any test. However, the touch-pressure and vibration scores were significantly influenced by the site tested, the index fingerpad being the most sensitive area in both tests.
