Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic condition that affects children and has an impact on social and physical activity, as well as participation in daily life. Participation and quality of life (QOL) are 2 important measures of successful rehabilitation that have not been well studied in children with CP. To report levels of participation and examine the relationship of participation to QOL in ambulatory children with CP. Secondary analysis, cross-sectional cohort study. Regional pediatric specialty care center. A cohort of 128 ambulatory children with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-III, age 2-9 years. Not applicable. Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory; Assessment of Life Habits; and Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment and Assessment of Preschool Children's Participation. Participation was negatively associated with increasing Gross Motor Function Classification System but not age. Level of participation was associated with psychosocial QOL (2.97, P = .001) and total QOL (54.70, P = .03) but not physical QOL. There was a positive relationship between physical activity performance (0.63, P = .001), walking performance (0.002, P = .01), and communication level (7.23, P = .05) with physical Q...Continue Reading
