What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the impact of associated impairments on the activity levels and social participation of school-aged children with Cerebral Palsy, aged 6 to 12. It will assess how these impairments affect not only the children but also their families' quality of life and caregiving burden. The study utilizes the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to evaluate the various health-related challenges faced by these children. By understanding these dynamics, the study seeks to provide insights into the comprehensive needs of children with CP and their families.
