From the supplier: An instrument designed to measure locomotor and object control functions was tested on a sample composed of 909 children. Test scores were calibrated via the use of the eight-faceted Rasch model and the FACETS computer program. The use of the Rasch calibration procedure proved to be practical and valid inasmuch as results of motor testing were not influenced by both the examinees and the type of tests and there exists a big advantage in Rasch's multi-faceted character wherein all of its facets could be equally considered.
