CP diagnosis and subtype were determined by the neuropaediatrician at or after the age of four./p pResults/p pGMFCS levels were available in all 365 children, MACS levels in 359 (98%). There was a poor overall correlation between gross motor function and manual ability. However, different ...
According to the results of multiple regression analysis, age (p<0.001), sex (p=0.012), BMI (p=0.003), and the GMFCS level (p<0.001) were significant factors that contributed to SLM (adjusted R=0.777). In addition, age (p<0.001) and the GMFCS level (p<0.001) were significant ...

Severe scoliosis (Cobb angle & GE; 40 & DEG;) developed in 80 of the 206 patients (39%) at a mean age of 10.9 years (range 5-16) and was more prevalent in children at GMFCS level V (62%) than at levels IV (19%) and III (6%). Initial Cobb angle, Cobb angle & GE; 30 &...
For all GMFCS levels, early interventions should be goal-directed, child-active, caregiver-delivered, based in natural environments and routines and allow practice and problem solving [55]. For children anticipated to function as GMFCS IV or V, environmental enrichment includes the ON-Time (age-...
