Abstract:
Abstract Cerebral palsy (CP) is a brain disorder
experienced by a person, which results in experiencing
many disturbances in motor activities. Impaired motor
coordination in people with CP is immediately apparent
when observed. The coordination ability of players is
needed in activities during playing football. Adequate
instruments are necessary to measure the special
coordination abilities of cerebral palsy (CP) football
players. This study aimed to produce an instrument test
model to measure the special coordination abilities of
people with cerebral palsy. The research method was
research and development using quantitative and
qualitative approaches. The respondents were people with
cerebral palsy who met the CP football classification
requirements according to the International Federation of
Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) regulations. Data analysis
used the SPSS statistical software. The study resulted in a
valid and reliable test instrument for eye, hand, and foot
coordination for cerebral palsy football players. The norms
for the Eye-Hand and Foot Coordination Ability test of the
Cerebral Palsy football players were in the Excellent
category (Point 5) if the score was ≥ 29, Good (Point 4) for
the score of 19-28, Moderate (Point 3) for the score of
10-18, Deficient (Point 2) for the score of 5-9, and
Immoderate (Point 1) if the score was ≤ 4. The eye, hand,
and foot coordination test instrument was mainly for the
CP football players, which can also be used by athletes,
coaches, and educators. This instrument was named Umar
Motor Ability Circuit-Cerebral Palsy Football
(UMAC-CPF) Coordination Test Model.
