Purpose： The purpose of this study was to find the effect of intensive therapy on gross motor function measure(GMFM) score in cerebral palsy.
Methods： Twenty eight cerebral palsy children were recruited in this study. Gross motor Function Measure(GMFM) score and Gross motor Function Classification System(GMFCS) were used to evaluate as functional change and functional level. Intensive therapy period for cerebral palsy children was 3, 4, and 5 weeks. Statistical analysis was used paired T test and one way ANOVA to know change between pre and post therapy was used.
Results： GMFM Score of pre- and post- intensive therapy showed the statistically significant difference. Intensive therapy period indicated the statistically significant difference in GMFM score. GMFCS level did not reveal statistically significant difference in GMFM score.
Conclusion： Intensive therapy was effective on gross motor function measure(GMFM) score in cerebral palsy.
