Özet

PURPOSE: The Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) provides a standardized classification of motor disability in children with cerebral palsy (CP) that is typically considered longitudinally stable. Here, changes in GMFCS levels of children with CP who received repeated botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections within an intensive rehabilitation approach were evaluated.
