Description
Summary:•EVGS and GPS correlate with GMFCS and FAQ scores.•The MCID for the EVGS is defined as 2.4.•The previously reported MCID for GPS is supported by data from a second centre. The primary aim was to define the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) using correlations with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and the Functional Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ). The secondary aim was to confirm the numerical value of the MCID in the Gait Profile Score (GPS). The EVGS and GPS scores for 151 patients with diplegic cerebral palsy (GMFCS Levels I–III) were retrospectively identified from a database held at the study centre. One-hundred and forty-one patients had FAQ data available. The EVGS and GPS correlated with increasing GMFCS level (p
