The Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK) (Kiphard & Schilling, 1974, 2007) is a
standardized, norm-referenced measure used by physical therapists and occupational therapists in
clinic and school practice settings to evaluate the motor coordination (MC) of 5- to 14-year-old
children. To find out for which research purposes the KTK has been used and its reliability and
validity, we conducted a systematic review. 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 reported to be a reliable measure,
although only nine studies examined its validity or reliability in target populations. 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outdated, and needed careful standardization.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.
