Spearman Rho Correlations Between Functional Strength Measurement (FSM) Items and Movement Assessment Battery for Children—2 Items^{^a}

↵^a Significant values for the upper extremities are shown in bold type, and those for the lower extremities are shown in italic type.
^b P<.05.
^c P<.01.

Factor Analysis^{^a}

↵^a The extraction method was principal components analysis. The rotation method was varimax rotation with Kaiser normalization. Values exceeding .50 are shown in bold type.
^b The rotation converged in 3 iterations.
