Objective[edit | edit source]
The revised and expanded version of the GMFCS (2007) builds upon the original version of the Gross Motor Function Classification System developed in 1997 to classify and describe the abilities of children and youth with cerebral palsy. This newer version describes the movement ability of a child with cerebral palsy in one of five levels across five age ranges, with emphasis on the child’s functional ability and performance in different settings, particularly sitting, walking, and wheeled mobility.[1][2]
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
Children at level I perform the same activities as their age-matched peers but with some difficulty in speed, balance, and coordination, while children at level V have difficulty controlling their head and trunk posture in most positions and achieving any voluntary control of movement.
