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 ...
Alterations in lower limb muscle morphology in Cerebral Palsy with different GMFCS levels and varying ageDeficient knee flexion during the oscillating phase is a frequent gait disorder in cerebral palsy patients. This results from excessive contraction of the rectus femoris, demonstrated at ...
The classifier exhibited outstanding accuracy across GMFCS levels I–IV, with 83%–91% true positive rate (TPR), area under the receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve greater than .96 for all levels, and misclassification by more than one level only occurring 1.2% of the time. This ...
However, few studies have evaluated body composition according to function ability levels in those with CP using the BIA. Therefore, we performed this study to assess differences in body composition according to gross motor function in children with CP compared to a healthy control group using BIA...
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 &...
investigate a possible correlation between the gross motor function classification system-expanded and revised (GMFCS-E&R), the manual abilities classification system (MACS) and the communication function classification system (CFCS) functional levels in children with cerebral palsy (CP) by CP subtype....
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-...
