Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience a variety of functional limitations depending on the severity of their condition that impact on their participation in day-to-day activities.
The gross motor function and participation restrictions experienced by 60 ambulant children with CP (mean age 11.04 years) were assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) and the Lifestyle Assessment Questionnaire - Cerebral Palsy (LAQ-CP).
A significant negative correlation existed between the GMFM-88 and the LAQ-CP (r = -0.52, P < 0.001). Significant relationships were also identified between the GMFM-88 and the physical independence, mobility, economic burden and social integration domains of the LAQ-CP.
In ambulatory children with CP, better physical function is associated with a lesser impact of disability; however, the relationship between function and participation is complex. Measures of participation restriction may assist with goal setting appropriate to the specific needs of the child and family.
脑瘫（CP）患儿会因病情严重程度不同而出现各种功能限制，这会影响他们参与日常活动。
使用粗大运动功能测量量表（GMFM - 88）和脑瘫生活方式评估问卷（LAQ - CP）对60名能行走的脑瘫患儿（平均年龄11.04岁）的粗大运动功能和参与限制情况进行评估。
GMFM - 88与LAQ - CP之间存在显著负相关（r = -0.52，P < 0.001）。GMFM - 88与LAQ - CP的身体独立性、移动性、经济负担和社会融合领域之间也存在显著关系。
在能行走的脑瘫患儿中，较好的身体功能与较小的残疾影响相关；然而，功能与参与之间的关系很复杂。参与限制的测量可能有助于根据儿童和家庭的特定需求设定目标。
