The segmental trunk control and gross motor function classification system in children with cerebral palsy
Keywords:
Segmental trunk control, Children with cerebral palsy, Gross motor Function Classification SystemAbstract
Cross sectional research aimed to investigate the segmental trunk control and to examine the relationship between level of segmental trunk control (loss of trunk control, partial trunk control, full trunk control) and Gross motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) in children with cerebral palsy. Participants were 30 children with cerebral palsy with GMFCS level II to V. They were evaluated their segmental trunk control ability using the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) in 3 conditions: static trunk control, active trunk control, and reactive trunk control. Chi-square statistic was used to determine the relationship. The significant level was set at p < 0.05. The results demonstrated that most of participants displayed full trunk control and loss of trunk control ability in static trunk control, active trunk control, and reactive trunk control. The lowest score was found in reactive trunk control. There was a significant relationship between segmental trunk control level and Gross motor Function Classification System (static trunk control, active trunk control, and reactive trunk control = 38.77, 38.77, 27.40, p =0.00). The results of this study might be useful for plan treatment activities according to their trunk control performance.
