Searching five databases, we found 46 studies used the KTK over four decades. The KTK was widely used in Europe in children with typical and atypical development. The KTK was used to investigate associations, to test the effects of interventions and treatments, to identify or diagnose different factors, to evaluate MC and it was included in reviews of motor assessments.

The KTK was considered a non-sport/skill-specific, easy-to-administer, had a scoring system that enabled crossstudy comparisons but was limited to balance and locomotor aspects, had norm values that were outdated, and needed careful standardization. The KTK’s validity for different purposes requires further evaluation. ...
