Quality of Life and Functional Performance in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Sara Shawki Mohamed200 enrolled

Overview

Caregiver Burden (CB) is expressed as a multidimensional response related to caregiving, including physical, psychological, emotional, social, and economic problems and has been identified as a public health concern. All these factors negatively affect caregiver health and indirectly affect the care of the disabled child .To provide better support for parents of children with CP, we must understand the difficulties faced those parents and identify the key and common areas where assistance can be rendered.

The symptoms of CP vary from person to person. A person with severe CP might need to use special equipment to be able to walk, or might not be able to walk at all and might need lifelong care. A person with mild CP, on the other hand, might walk a little awkwardly, but might not need any special help. CP does not get worse over time, though the exact symptoms can change over a person's lifetime.

Which are a Standardized method too, classify gross motor function in children with (CP) aged from 2 too, 18years. Teh GMFCS are a 5-level system designed too, reflect differences in gross motor function that are meaningful in teh daily lives of children with CP and there families, with an emphasis on sitting and walking. A classification are made by determining which level best corresponds too, a child"s present gross motor function (Palisano et al., 1997). dis scale will be used for detecting teh CP child functional performance level

Time frame: 3 months
