Abstract: Objective To investigate if Carroll Uupper Extremities Functional Test (UEFT) is an effective rating scale for evaluatingfine motor of upper limbs in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methods 45 children with hemiplegia were assessed by 2 certified valuersat the same week. Their upper limbs function was evaluated by the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PMDS)-2 and Carroll UEFT.The relationship of the scores of Carroll UEFT and PDMS-2 was analyzed. The scores of Carroll UEFT were compared between 2 limbs.Results The score of Carroll UFET significantly correlated with the PDMS-2 grasping raw scores and vision - integration raw scores of bothlimbs (P<0.001), was not correlated with the score of fine movement quotient (FMQ) both in the healthy side (r=0.165, P=0.278) and thehemiplegic side (r=0.022, P=0.888). There was significant difference in the scores of Carroll UEFT between 2 limbs (Z=4.475, P<0.001).Conclusion Carroll UEFT is effective used clinically in evaluating fine motor function of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
