Diagnostic qualities of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Short Form: Comparative study

Original language description

The Bruininks-Oseretzky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT2), in its complete form, is considered a clinical, objective diagnostic tool that focuses on the motor proficiency of individuals with typical development and moderate motor skill difficulties. The BOT2 Short Form (SF), an alternative tool with 19 selected test items, is designed for quick screening of motor proficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity of the German BOT-2 SF for below-average and well-below-average motor proficiency compared to the BOT-2 CF. Methods: The motor proficiency of 637 Czech children (46.6% girls) aged 6.0-11.0 years was assessed using the BOT-2 CF. We compared differences in sensitivity, predictive validity for motor difficulties, and feasibility between the BOT-CF and SF. Results: The BOT-2 SF yielded lower total motor composite scores than the BOT-2 CF (t(636) = 8.84, p %60 .001). This is reflected in the low precision and predictive value of a positive test result. The BOT-2 SF sensitivity was moderate (77%), the specificity was high (94%), and the accuracy was high (93%). Conclusions: The BOT-2 SF is a suitable assessment tool for low motor proficiency when used as an alternative to the BOT-2 CF. Improving the diagnostic quality of the BOT-2 SF can be achieved by adjusting the cutoff point. Further improving the BOT-2 SF‘s properties as a screening tool would require revising the selection of test items to eliminate the ceiling effect.
