Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between gross motor function and intelligence in school-age children with cerebral palsy. Methods93 school-age children with cerebral palsy were assessed with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and Children Adaptive Behavior Scale (CABS). ResultsThe classification of GMFCS did not correlated with intelligence quotient （r=0.184,P>0.05), nor the adaptive behavior （r=0.056,P>0.05）. ConclusionThere is no correlation between gross motor function and intelligence in school-age children with cerebral palsy.
