The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation amongst the social function, communication function, activities of daily living and gross motor function beyond existing research on physical function and functional capacity in cerebral palsy. 43 children with cerebral palsy participated in this study and significant correlations were found among social function, communication function, activities of daily living and gross motor function. The greatest significant correlations were found between social function and activities of daily living. Significant higher correlations were found between items of social function and communication, but were lower between social function and gross motor function. The results showed that we consider the social aspects of function of children with cerebral palsy in the area of rehabilitation in order to focus on the problem in real life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
