The overall percentage of children whose GMFCS level changed one or two levels was 42%, of which the majority were reclassified to a less functional level (McNemar's Chi(2) test p=0.11). The chance that children initially classified in the combination of GMFCS Levels I, II, and III ...
They also assign a classification for motor function based on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). This includes levels I through V. How Do I Know if My Child Has Cerebral Palsy? Some of thesigns of cerebral palsy in an infant or toddler are: ...
While most CP subjects had a Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS) level of 0 (n = 19, 40%), various levels of functional impairment were represented in the cohort (Table 1). Gene expression data were generated from a subset of subjects with adequate RNA (RIN > 5);...

uni- and bilateral CP, as well as the decrease in the proportion of children with epilepsy could be explained by better ascertainment of cases over time, although this interpretation is not obviously supported by the lack of time trends regarding GMFCS levels and use of gastrostomy tube feeding....
Caregivers of children with severe CP (GMFCS Levels IV and V) also completed a second administration of the CPCHILD 2 weeks after the first. The mean CPCHILD score for children with severe CP was 56.2 (SD 15.7; range 24–93). The mean CPCHILD scores for children in GMFCS Levels I to...

The children (112 males, 93 females) were sampled across Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels (Level I=18%, II=28%, III=14%, IV=11%, V=27%). Primary caregivers also completed other measures of child health (Child Health Questionnaire; CHQ), QOL (KIDSCREEN), and ...
Their earlier ultrasound study1 compared muscle thickness values in four muscles across Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels and across levels of sitting and standing ability in 25 adults with CP (range 19-60y, GMFCS Levels III-V, all with IQ<35). A clear trend was seen...
