Abstract
Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a spectrum of disorders causing physical and intellectual morbidity among large number of children across the globe. Management of these children has to be done by a multidisciplinary team. Objectives: To assess the physical and functional disabilities of these children using accepted scales of GMFM and FIM and to determine their response to intervention. Materials And Methods: The study was conducted at a Tertiary Care Centre as a follow up study, during the period July-December 2016. Follow up period was one year. The study participants were diagnosed cases of CP in the age group 1-16 years of age. The children registered were graded based on GMFM and FIM scales. {GMFM: Gross Motor Function Measure} and {FIM: Functional Independent Measurement}. Comprehensive intervention were given by the rehabilitation team and re-evaluation were done at the end of one year. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16 and paired t test. Results: Out of the 41 children enrolled, 30 had quadriplegia, 3 had hemiplegia and 8 had spastic diplegia. The gross motor score and functional score were suboptimum in the majority of patients. However they showed significant improvement following intervention Conclusion: Comprehensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation can play a major role in the management of CP.
