The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) measures fundamental motor skills competency and is frequently used for eligibility determination of adapted physical education services in children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to determine if the TGMD-3 is clinically sensitive to detect deficits in the fundamental motor skills of children with disabilities (i.e., intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, language and articulation disorders). Eighty-five children with disabilities and 85 matched controls (i.e., typically developing, individually matched on age, sex, ethnicity, and race) completed the TGMD-3. Mann-Whitney U tests identified significant differences in the total TGMD-3 scores for children with intellectual disability (p < .001), autism spectrum disorder (p < .001), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (p = .032). No differences were identified for children with language and articulation disorders. Comparisons of subscales (i.e., locomotor and ball skills) differed across disability groups. This study provides evidence that the TGMD-3 is clinically sensitive to identify deficits in fundamental motor skills competency.

美国国家标准样本中残疾儿童粗大运动发育 3 测试的临床有效性

粗大运动发展测试 (TGMD) 测量基本运动技能能力，并经常用于确定残疾儿童适应性体育服务的资格。本研究的目的是确定 TGMD-3 在检测残疾儿童（即智力残疾、自闭症谱系障碍、注意力缺陷多动障碍、语言和发音障碍）的基本运动技能缺陷方面是否具有临床敏感性。85 名残疾儿童和 85 名匹配对照（即发育正常，年龄、性别、种族和种族个体匹配）完成了 TGMD-3。Mann-Whitney U 检验发现智障儿童 (p < .001)、自闭症谱系障碍 (p < .001)、和注意力缺陷多动障碍 (p = .032)。对于患有语言和发音障碍的儿童，没有发现差异。分量表（即运动和球类技能）的比较在残疾组中有所不同。这项研究提供的证据表明，TGMD-3 在临床上对识别基本运动技能能力的缺陷很敏感。
