Gross motor functional abilities in preterm‐born children with cerebral palsy due to periventricular leukomalacia
Abstract
To describe the impact of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) on gross motor function, data on 59 children (37 males, 22 females) with a gestational age (GA) of 34 weeks or less with cerebral palsy (CP) due to PVL grade I (n=20), II (n=13), III (n=25), and IV (n=1) were studied; (mean GA 29 wk 4d [SD 4 wk 6d]; mean birthweight 1318 g [SD 342]). Two independent raters used the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) at four time …
