Caracterización del nivel de funcionalidad motora gruesa de una muestra de niños con parálisis cerebral mediante la escala Gross Motor Function Measure.

Abstract

Introduction: This research presents the characterization of gross motor functionality level children with cerebral palsy by applying the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) scale. Objectives: To characterize the level of gross motor function of children with Cerebral Palsy who attend the E.S.E Cardioneuromuscular Rehabilitation Center of Norte de Santander, for the first academic period of 2020. Method: Corresponds to a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional study, with a population of 33 users of the E.S.E Cardioneuromuscular Rehabilitation Center. The selection of the subjects was convenient with a sample of 4 users; to which the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) scale was applied. Which describes the characteristics of gross motor function. Results: In the statistical analysis, average, percentages and 95% CI were used, where the level of motor function was identified, and a relationship between these variables was sought. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the aim is to determine motor deficiencies as a result of the level of gross motor functionality of a sample of children with Cerebral Palsy.
