Factors Associated with Performance of Activities and Participation of Brazilian Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy: A Cross-Sectional Study
The aim of this study was to investigate factors related to performance in daily activities, mobility, social/cognitive skills, and responsibility of Brazilian children/adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were performed. A total of 190 children/adolescents participated. Most participants performed below expected in mobility, which could be explained by age, locomotion ability, and anatomical distribution of motor impairment (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.50). Performance in daily activities (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.44) and responsibility (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.23) were explained by age and locomotion ability. This study contributes to understanding the factors that explain the functioning of children/adolescents with CP in Brazil, a low/middle-income country.
