: Overall, the MABC-2 proves to be an appropriate tool for assessing motor skills in school-aged children in Taiwan, when considering its measurement properties. Nevertheless, clinicians should exercise caution when interpreting the assessment results because of large random measurement errors in the domains of aiming and catching and balance, and different motor patterns existing in children in Taiwan.
