Introduction/Objective. Limitations of mobility and motor deficits are identified as predominant in the clinical picture of cerebral palsy. This research aimed to describe the profile of motor abilities of children with cerebral palsy, which included gross motor, manual, and bimanual fine motor functions, and to determine the extent to which their functional independence in self-care and mobility was influenced by the profile of their motor abilities. Methods. A convenience sample of 117 participants with cerebral palsy (56.4% males), aged 7?18 years (M = 13.2, SD = 3.4), was included. The Gross Motor Function Classification System ? Expanded and Revised, Manual Ability Classification System, Bimanual Fine Motor Function and the Functional Independence Measure ? Version for Children, were used. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and hierarchical multiple regression. Results. More than a half of sample exhibited different levels of gross motor, manual, and bimanual function. Lower functional independence in self-care and mobility was associated with higher functional limitations. Manual abilities were the strongest predictor of functional independence in self-care (? = -0.63, p < 0.001), while gross motor functions were the strongest predictor in the mobility domain (? = -0.65, p < 0.001). Conclusion. Improvement of gross motor and manual abilities of children with cerebral palsy is confirmed as one of the basic preconditions for achieving a greater independence and for minimizing or eliminating a need for assistance in mobility and in everyday self-care activities.

Objective: To assess whether the addition of an education programme for primary caregivers to rehabilitation improves daily functioning in children with cerebral palsy. Design: A randomized, single-blind, controlled study. Setting: This study was conducted in a rehabilitation centre in Salvador, Brazil. Participants: A total of 63 boys and girls with cerebral palsy, at 1–12 years of age, with Gross Motor Function Classification Systems I–V, were randomly assigned to two groups: educational programme for primary caregivers and conventional rehabilitation ( n = 29) or conventional rehabilitation alone ( n = 31). Intervention: Each group received 12 sessions of 30 minutes of conventional rehabilitation and 12 sessions of 45 minutes to intervention group. Measurements: Gross Motor Function Classification System, Gross Motor Function Measure and daily functioning with the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory were assessed by a blinded assessor. The clinical outcomes were obtained at the completion of treatment (12 weeks). Results: Of the 63 patients included, 60 (mean ± SD age: 4.6 ± 2.74 years) completed the protocol. The combined education and rehabilitation, as compared with conventional rehabilitation alone, yielded significantly greater benefit in the self-care domain of the Functional Skills Scale (mean change 1.74 versus 5; P = 0.001), self-care (mean change 5.52 versus 13.99; P = 0.017) and the mobility domain of the Caregiver Assistance Scale of Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (mean change 0.87 versus 17.88; P = 0.002). Conclusion: Self-care and mobility improved in children with cerebral palsy with the addition to conventional rehabilitation of an educational programme for primary caregivers.
