Validity, responsiveness, minimal detectable change, and minimal clinically important change of Pediatric Balance Scale in children with cerebral palsy

► Clinimetric properties of the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) were determined. ► The PBS was moderately responsive to change in children with CP. ► The PBS showed fair-to-excellent concurrent validity and predictive validity with GMFM-66 and WeeFIM. ► Minimal detectable change (MDC) in PBS was measured. ► Minimal clinically important change (MCID) in PBS was measured.
