Assessing functional differences in gross motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who use an ambulatory aid or orthoses: can the GMFM‐88 help?
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM‐88) is sensitive to within‐child changes in function as a result of children who use an ambulatory aid or orthoses in comparison with unaided or barefoot function. Data from 257 children (140 males, 117 females) with cerebral palsy (CP) were analyzed from a 5‐year longitudinal study. The children's age ranged from 2 to 15 years (mean 7y 4mo; SD 2y 11mo), …
