The comprehensive care of ambulatory children with CP functioning at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I and II was covered in a previous practice point. This companion document focuses on the care of children with CP functioning at GMFCS levels III to V. Children ...

Purpose: To investigate performance of children with cerebral palsy (CP) at GMFCS Levels I-II on sports-focussed gross motor assessments; and concurrent validity of mainstream and CP-specific high-level assessment batteries and field tests. Methods: Fifty-four children (6-12 years) with CP at ...
Conclusions: In patients with CP functioning at GMFCS levels III and IV, DRFT results in persistent crouch postoperatively. Given the importance of maintaining upright posture in these patients, we do not recommend DRFT in patients functioning at GMFCS levels III and IV....

Inclusion criteria were bilateral CP and GMFCS levels III-V. Scoliosis was evaluated annually by examination of the spine by a physiotherapist. Radiographic examination was performed in children with moderate or severe scoliosis at clinical evaluation. The Cobb angle was used as a measure of curve ...
Recommended treadmill training parameters for persons with cerebral palsy based on the GMFCS levels: a systematic reviewfrom late stance to mid-swing phase of gait, using a cable-driven robotic gait training system. Outcome measures consisted of overground walking speed, 6 minutes walking distance, ...

Major findings: The absolute agreement, with corresponding levels according to GMFCS and GMFCS-E&R was 96.8% (n = 644). Unweighted Kappa showed K = 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.940.98) and weighted Kappa showed K = 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.960.99). Both were interpreted as ...
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...
