Functional mobility of children with cerebral palsy (CP) is influenced by personal and environmental factors, serving as barriers and/or facilitators and impacting on children's strategies and functional outcome.
To describe typical mobility methods used by children with CP at home, school and community and to compare them across family's socioeconomic levels (SES).
The Functional Mobility Scale was used to assess mobility of 113 children with CP of high and low SES at home, school, and community.
Differences in mobility methods of participants classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System levels II, III and IV were found between home and community. For levels III and IV, differences were also found between home and school. At home, participants from higher SES used wheelchairs more frequently while those from lower SES used floor mobility (crawling).
Environmental settings and families' socioeconomic status influence mobility and use of mobility devices by children with CP.
脑瘫(CP)患儿的功能性移动受个人和环境因素影响,这些因素既可能成为障碍,也可能起到促进作用,并影响患儿的移动策略和功能结果。
描述脑瘫患儿在家、学校和社区中使用的典型移动方式,并比较不同家庭社会经济水平(SES)下的这些移动方式。
使用功能性移动量表评估113名高社会经济水平和低社会经济水平的脑瘫患儿在家、学校和社区中的移动情况。
在家和社区中,被归类为粗大运动功能分类系统II、III和IV级的参与者的移动方式存在差异。对于III级和IV级,在家和学校之间也发现了差异。在家中,社会经济水平较高的参与者更频繁地使用轮椅,而社会经济水平较低的参与者则采用地面移动(爬行)。
环境设置和家庭社会经济地位会影响脑瘫患儿的移动能力和移动设备的使用。
