The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship of function classification systems and activities of daily living in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). 79 subjects were participated in this study. Gross motor classification system (GMFCS), manual function classification system (MACS), communication function classification system (CFCS), and functional independence measure for children (WeeFIM) were measured by trained physical or occupational therapists. There were significant moderate correlation of each function classification system and WeeFIM (rs=-.53 to -.69, p<.01). MACS and CFCS were both strongly associated with daily activities (explained variance 75%). It is necessary for assessment and intervention of manual ability to improve activities of daily living skills in spastic CP.
