Outline of Final Research Achievements

Seven hundred ninety children with cerebral palsy attended this study. Their average age was 8.6 years. The umber of children for each GMFCS level were I: 113、 II: 101, III: 201, IV: 208, V: 167, respectively. The participants were evaluated by PEDI and scaled score for each functional skills were calculated. As the result of multi-way ANOVA, most mild group (GMFCS level I) developed mobility skill according to their age. However, mobility skill of moderate and severe groups (GMFCS III, IV and V) was reached at plateau at the age band of 4 to 6 but social function and self-care continued to develop after that.
