Conclusions The Korean version of the MACS is reliable and valid and is suitable for assessing manual ability in Korean children with cerebral palsy. IntraвЂђrater reliability ranged from 0.965 to 0.987. The intraвЂђclass correlation coefficients were 0.956 between occupational therapists and physicians, 0.927 between parents and physicians, and 0.960 between parents and occupational therapists. Results SixtyвЂђnine children were enrolled. A second assessment for intraвЂђrater reliability was performed 4 weeks later.

Methods After a twoвЂђstep forward and oneвЂђstep backward translation, the interвЂђrater reliability of the Korean version of the MACS was assessed separately by parents, occupational therapists and physicians.

Mini-MACS ДЄ version of the test for children under the age of four years old, the Mini-MACS, was developed in 2016. Alternatives ДЄlternative classification systems used for children with CP include: ABILHAND, AHA, CHEQ, CPQOL, House, MUUL, PedsQLCP, and SHUEE. The widespread adoption of the GMFCS inspired the development of the MACS. The MACS is used worldwide except in Africa. MACS has had some studies demonstrating good to excellent inter-rater reliability. The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) (Eliasson et al., 2006) aims to classify how children with CP use both hands when handling objects in their daily activities and what impact. Assessment is typically done by asking questions of the parent or therapist of the child to see where the child fits. Unlike the GMFCS, there are no age bands for the MACS. Although it has a good level of reliability when used for children between 2 and 5 years of age, there is less evidence for using it with children younger than 2. Although MACS was not designed for adults, it has been used with a good measure of reliability in young adult populations ranging in ages from 18-24. MACS levels are stable over time and so they can be used as part of a prognosis for individuals. Occasionally it is used as a dependent variable. It is mostly used as a way of describing a sample population and as an independent variable.
