what age group classifies as cerebral palsy
abstract â The goal of this study was to assess the relation between gender, age, motor type, topography. and gross motor function, based on the Gross Motor Function System of children with cerebral palsy. Trunk. control, postural changes and gait of one hundred children between 5 months and 12 years old, were evaluated. There were no significant differences between gender and age groups (p=0.887) or between gender and motor. type (p=0.731). In relation to body topography most children (88%) were spastic quadriplegic.
