The Danish Challenge showed excellent reliability in this testing context when physiotherapists scored from live- or video-recorded assessments. The Challenge's ability to detect 4.7 points change seems a clinically realistic target for progress. Clinical trial registration: This trial has been approved by the Data Protection Agency, Central Region Denmark, Ref nr.: 615216, Case nr.: 1-16-02-46-16. Registration date: 01-01-2016.Implications for rehabilitationThe Challenge remained reliable and maintained a promising minimal detectable change of less than five points after translation and cultural adaptation.The Danish version of the Challenge 20-item version can be used to measure advanced motor skill performance in children with cerebral palsy, GMFCS level I and GMFCS level II.Challenge live scoring is as reliable as the more time-consuming video-recorded scoring, meaning that physiotherapists can choose the method that fits best with their clinical context and preference.
