Comparing outcomes of group and individualized physiotherapy treatment models for children with cerebral palsy in Ghana: a quasi-experimental study
… System Expanded & Revised version (GMFCS E&R) and Manual Ability Classification Scale (MACS)) and the caregivers' burden of care (MCSI), health-related quality of life (EQ5D 3L version of HRQoL) and satisfaction with physical therapy (MRPS). Results: Comparing outcomes between the …

The influence of two physical activity programs on bone and muscle health in youth with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments.
… all Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels (I-V) were included. This study found smaller, thinner and weaker bones and lower muscle strength in children and adolescents with CP and CP-like conditions across all GMFCS levels, with deficits relating to functional ability. As …

Hip and Spine in Cerebral Palsy
… with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and age. The clinical spinal assessment showed excellent interrater reliability (weighted kappa=0.96) and high concurrent validity compared with radiographic Cobb angle measurement. The sensitivity was 75%, and specificity was 99.8%. The …

A comparison of hospital-based and community-based models of cerebral palsy rehabilitation
… as the level of severity increased in terms of GMFCS level, so the amount of improvement decreased (rho=-568, p<;.000). However, as age was significantly different between the two groups and there were more severely affected children in the community based treatment group, regression analysis …

Surgical outcomes for the ambulatory child with cerebral palsy
… Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level; pre-intervention GDI; and, pattern of involvement should be considered. The fourth finding is a suggestion that increased velocity may not always accompany improvements in the gait of children with spastic CP. Therefore increased …

Quantification of muscle fatigue in cerebal palsy and its relationship to impairments and function
… Motor Function Classification System Levels (GMFCS) (i.e. less involved subjects) were also associated with higher levels of muscle fatigability. Strength was directly related to muscle fatigability, where weaker subjects had lower levels of fatigue, regardless of muscle. Cocontraction and …

Children with Cerebral Palsy: Current needs and challenges in the Western Cape
… CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] IV and V and resided within 30 km of their respective hospitals. Overall, occupational therapy was the most accessed rehabilitation service by all the children, followed by physiotherapy. However, the younger children, under five years old, …

Factors associated with improvement in the gross motor function outcomes of children with acquired brain injury in a paediatric intermediate care facility in the Western Cape, South Africa: A descriptive study
… The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to classify the children according to their functional abilities. The Gross Motor Function Measure 88 (GMFM88) was used to assess changes in the child’s gross motor function. The Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) …

An investigation into the ultrastructural parameters of abdominal muscles in children and adolescents with spastic type cerebral palsy and the effect on postural muscle performance
… the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) Levels (disability status) but did not correlate with changes in MAP's or with changes in the frequency of EMG activity between resting and active states. The performance of daily activities by individuals with STCP may not be a reflection of …

Effects of specifically sequenced massage on spastic muscle properties and motor skills in adolescents with cerebral palsy
… the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) ranged from level I to IV. The investigation involved the use of goniometry to measure change in the active and passive range of movement at the ankle joint and EMGs to measure incidence of stretch reflex contractions. Motor skills were …
