  2. bMean score for both hands
  3. cData missing for one VLBW participant with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy
  4. dData missing for one control participant
  5. ep-values for between-group differences in associations of physical and mental component summaries with motor skills
  6. HRQoL = health-related quality of life, VLBW = very low birth weight, CI = confidence interval
  7. MABC-2 = Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2, HiMAT = High-level Mobility Assessment Tool
  8. Higher scores on the Grooved Pegboard and Trail Making Test-5 indicate poorer function and higher scores on the MABC-2 and HiMAT indicate better function
  9. Regression coefficient B for motor test, in linear regression with physical component summary and mental component summary as dependent variable, and motor test, group, and motor test x group as independent variables
