Short Description of Instrument
The Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 (BOT™-2) (Bruininks and Bruininks 2005) consists of 8 subtests of motor proficiency, including fine motor precision, fine motor integration, manual dexterity, bilateral coordination, balance, running speed and agility and upper-limb coordination. Normative data are available for four composite scores and an overall motor proficiency score.
The test is administered with game-like tasks that require 15-20 minutes (short form) or 45-60 minutes (complete battery) to complete.
Scoring
Standard scores have M=50, SD=10.
Comments/Special Instructions
SCI-Pediatric-specific: Fine motor can be done from wheelchair level. All gross motor items require ambulation.
