  • Prioritisation of data collection by assessing patient ability and determining relative importance of data
  • Application of local protocols and national guidelines
  • Use and relevance of functional scales, eg Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Gross Motor Function Measurement Score (GMFCS), in qualifying/quantifying deficit
