This study aims to characterize the clinical profile, functional status, and comorbidity burden of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Cross-sectional study of 70 children aged 1-14 years with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
Functional assessments using GMFCS, MACS, and QUEST; development evaluated using DP-3
Examined correlations among functional measures, developmental scores, and epilepsy
Mean age of participants was 62.4 ± 38.3 months, with 71.4% being male and predominant right-side involvement
73% classified as GMFCS levels I and II; 88% had reduced hand function (MACS levels II and III)
38.5% had epilepsy and 31% visual impairment, with poorer manual ability correlating with higher GMFCS levels and lower developmental scores
