Rosenbaum, P. Prognosis for gross motor function in cerebral palsy: Creation of motor development curves. Journal of the American Medical Association, 11 , Tabulated reference percentiles are available for use with the GMFM to assess children with cerebral palsy. The percentiles are derived from a longitudinal sample of GMFM assessments of children with CP, 2 - 12 years of age.
This stratified by age and GMFCS random sample was collected from among all children with CP who were receiving a variety of developmental therapies and services at publicly funded children's rehabilitation centres in Ontario, Canada, between and Hanna, S.
Reference curves for the Gross Motor Function Measure: Percentiles for clinical description and tracking over time among children with cerebral palsy.
Physical Therapy 88 5 - What are the motor growth curves, and what information do they provide? Journal of the American Medical Association, With repeated scoring over time, it is possible to determine whether a child is functioning as well as expected, better than expected or more poorly then expected to be developed after completion of the clinical tracking paper — S.
There is no recommended frequency however plotting scores at yearly intervals would be appropriate. What are the implications for services when the GMFM scores reach a plateau? It is important to be aware that while children with cerebral palsy may reach a plateau in the abilities specifically measured by the GMFM, decisions regarding service provision should not be based on their GMFM scores alone.
Gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy may continue to change over time as they use these abilities in the context of daily life. It is also important to keep in mind that children with cerebral palsy continue to develop important quality of movement aspects which may, in turn, improve overall gross motor performance. The goals of service provision may shift away from a focus on the development of motor skills towards such goals as the prevention of secondary impairments.
As well, physical goals may be replaced with communication or other goals. Decisions regarding service provision must take all of these factors into account.
