Background-Movement patterns in dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) are characterized by abnormal postures and involuntary movements. Current evaluation tools DCP subjective time-consuming. Sensors could yield objective information on pathological DCP, but their reliability has not yet been evaluated. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (i) (ii) discriminative ability sensor parameters. Methods-Inertial measurement units placed the arm, forearm, hand individuals with without while performing reach-forward, reach-and-grasp-vertical, reach-sideways tasks. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) calculated for reliability, Mann-Whitney U-tests between-group differences. Results-Twenty-two extremities (mean age 16.7 y) twenty 17.2 ICC values all parameters except jerk sample entropy ranged from 0.50 0.98 during reach forwards/sideways 0.40 0.95 reach-and-grasp vertical. Jerk maximal acceleration/angular velocity significantly higher group comparison peers. Conclusions-This was first assess reporting high between- within-session majority These findings suggest that movements can be reliably captured using a selection
