Functioning profile and related impairments of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy - PartiCipa Brazil preliminary results
This first preliminar Brazilian study shows a high prevalence of children at MACS levels II and V and GMFCS levels IV and V, representing almost half of the group, indicating more impairments and limitations than children/adolescents from high-income countries. This study provides a preliminary deeper understanding of the key impairments and limitations in activities among children and adolescents with CP from various Brazilian regions.
