ABSTRACT

Most of definitions equate quality of life and motor functioning to each other. The aim of this study was to examination the association between gross motor function and QOL domains for children with Cerebral Palsy [CP]. In this analytical cross - sectional study, 60 children with diagnosis of cerebral palsy 4-12 years old were selected horn different clinics of occupational therapy. Cp-QOL questionnaires completed by parents of participants, and gross motor function of all children evaluated by GMFM. There were significant differences between gross motor function and quality of life domains such as social well-being and acceptance [P=0/017], feeling about functioning [P=0/003], participation and physical health [P=0/003], pain and feeling about disability [P=0/018], ability to access to health services [P=0/009]. There wasn't statistically significant relation between the optenial well-being [P=0/54] and family health [P=0/796]. There aren't relations between gross motor function and the psychosocial domains of QOL; which means Children with CP have the potential to show high psychosocial QOL scores even if they have poor functioning skills
