Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To determine the health-related quality of life in children with cerebral palsy and their families. METHODS:One hundred children (3-10 years of age) receiving regular rehabilitation therapy for cerebral palsy for last 1 year at a Child Development Centrer were enrolled and the Lifestyle assessment questionnaire - cerebral palsy was administered to the parents. RESULTS:9% had good, 24% had mildly-affected, 37% had moderately-affected and 30% had severely-affected health-related quality of life. The physical independence, mobility and social integration dimensions were much more severely affected than the clinical burden, economic burden and schooling dimensions. CONCLUSION:Health-related quality of child is affected in most children with cerebral palsy.
