Evaluate proficiency of motor skills Support diagnoses, screening (short form),
educational placement (physical education), etc. Most widely used motor proficiency test

Cost Gross motor kit- $515.00
Gross motor
Gross Motor Domains
Gross motor composite total: 26 items Body coordination: motor skills used with balance & coordination of the
upper and lower extremities Strength & agility: large muscle strength, motor speed, and motor skills
for maintaining body position for walking and running
Procedures Testing procedures
Standardized test: administered & scored according to specific procedures
Gross motor should be performed in an area 60 feet long 12 feet wide Determine hand preference: set a tennis ball on the table and ask the
examinee to pick up the ball and throw to you. Foot preference: place tennis ball on floor and instruct the examinee to
kick the ball Within each subtest the entire item set should be administered
regardless of the child’s age
Procedures
• Administration procedures• Structured• Can teach the item using pictures, physical demonstration,
or verbal instruction• Establish rapport• Administrative options:
• Complete form: most reliable measure of overall motor proficiency
• Short form: quick and easy overall measure & also used to determine the need for further assessment
• Select composites & select subtest: can administer only subtests or composites that are relevant to the client’s need but the complete form should be used for qualifying a client for special-education services or diagnosis such as DCD
Examples of test items
Gross motor Body coordination
Bilateral coordination Jumping jacks, tapping foot and finger
Balance Walking forward on a line, standing on one leg on a
balance beam Strength & Agility
Running speed & agility Shuttle run, one-legged side hop
Strength Standing long jump, sit-ups, push-ups
Standardization Sample:
N=1520 12 groups of 4-21 year olds Sample tested in 239 sites within 38
states Based on the Current Population
Survey (Bureau of the Census, 2001) & the Twenty-sixth Annual Report to Congress (U.S. Department of Education, 2004)
Sampling goal to match US population: Sex Race/ethnicity (closely matched US
population) Socioeconomic status Geographic region
•Scores identify motor-skill deficits in individuals with mild to moderate motor control problems
Development
Started out as the BOTMP in 1978 2002 product survey identified less effective items
within the test New content focused on improving measurement
among 4 & 5 year olds, and expanding coverage of fine and gross motor skills
Secondary goal Subtest more homogenous collection of activities
2005 final publication of the BOT-2

Psychometric Properties Continued
Validity Content Validated through logical &
empirical procedures that were used to select items during development
Construct Used a composite structure that distinguishes motor skills by limbs and musculature involved in relationship to functional activities in areas of postural control, locomotion, and object manipulation
Clinical group difference Supports diagnosis of motor performance deficits
Criterion BOTMP, PDMS-2, TVMS-R
Scoring & Recording
Results
Converting raw scores to point scores Compute subtest total point scores Convert scale scores to composite standard
