There were barriers in activity and participation in the domains of learn-ing and applying knowledge, general tasks and demands, communication, mobility, self-care, domestic life, interpersonal interactions and re-lations, major life areas, and community, social and civil life. The mental function and neuromusculoskeletal and movement related func-tions correlated with the most domains of activity and participation (P<0.05). Conclusion Children with cerebral palsy are severe in activity and participation, which may be mainly associated with the impairments of mental function and neuromusculoskeletal and movement related functions.
