Study Notes
Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS)
- GMFCS categorizes functional motor performance in children aged 6 to 12.
- Five distinct levels outline capabilities ranging from full mobility to severe limitations.
GMFCS Levels
- Level 1: Children walk without restrictions but have limitations in advanced gross motor skills.
- Level 2: Children walk without assistive devices, with some limitations in outdoor and community mobility.
- Level 3: Children walk using assistive mobility devices; mobility outdoors and in the community is limited.
- Level 4: Self-mobility is limited; children often require transportation or power mobility in community settings.
- Level 5: Severely limited self-mobility, even with assistive technology.
Manual Ability Classification System (MACS)
- MACS defines five levels of handling objects and performing everyday tasks within easy reach.
MACS Levels
- Level I: Handles objects easily and successfully, indicating high manual dexterity.
- Level II: Manages most objects but with some reduction in quality and/or speed of handling.
- Level III: Faces difficulty in handling objects and requires assistance for modifications or preparations.
- Level IV: Able to handle a limited range of easily manageable objects in adapted settings.
- Level V: Incapable of handling objects; severely restricted in performing even simple actions.
