The Dyskinesia Impairment Scale (DIS) and Barry-Albright Dystonia Scale showed similar responsiveness in non-ambulatory patients with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP). No floor or ceiling effect was observed for DIS in non-ambulatory participants. The concurrent validity of DIS was adequate in non-ambulatory participants. Patients with dyskinetic CP in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels IV and V could not perform all DIS activity items.
