Aim: This study aimed to explore whether the three functional status representatives differentiate according to actual performance in everyday life. Method: High to moderate functional motor and communication performance levels as described by Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), Gross Motor Function Classification System, and Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) were investigated in the context of the scaled scores of executive function tasks and participation in different life situations on ABILHAND-Kids and Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation (CASP) questionnaires. The data were collected from 98 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) mainstreamed in regular schools (mean age 9,3 years [SD 3.0 years], [%95 CI:8.7-9.9]; 42 females, 56 males); 28,6% classified to level I, 29,6 % to level II, and 41,8 % to level III in MACS. Results: The study findings demonstrated that scaled scores of the executive function tasks and participation in different life situations increased with the greater MACS, GMFCS, and CFCS levels (pConclusion: Data from both MACS, GMFCS and CFCS might be useful to predict a child’s actual performance in daily life. |
