Relationship Between Communication and Gross Motor Function in Quadriparetic Cerebral Palsy

This study is an observational study conducted with data obtained from assessment scales and does not involve any treatment. The target population of the study consists of individuals diagnosed with quadriparetic cerebral palsy (QCP). Individuals with QCP aged 0-17 years were included in the study. Detailed medical histories were taken from the participants, and they were evaluated using the Communication Function Classification System (CFCS), the Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM), and the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88). The aim of this study is to examine the effect of communication function on gross motor function and independence.
