Abstract: Objective To explore the functioning and disability and individualized rehabilitation strategies for children with cerebral palsy using ICF-CY.Methods ICF-CY core set for children with cerebral palsy was used, and literatures of functioning and disability (motor function) and physical activity and exercise rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy were reviewed systematically. Based on the theoretical framework of ICF-CY and the theories of children's development, the rehabilitation strategies for children with cerebral palsy were discussed.Results The main functioning and disability for children with cerebral palsy were impairment of brain structure and nerve systemand motor function at body level; activity limitation and participation restriction in cognition, mobility and self-care, and restriction in participation in games, leisure and educational activities at individual level and related environmental factors. The rehabilitation strategies of children with cerebral palsy should be based on the physical structure and function, activities and participation, as well as environmental factors, to develop programs that met the characteristics of the individual.Conclusion The characteristics of functioning and disability for children with cerebral palsy were analyzed using ICF-CY. Individualized rehabilitation strategies should be developed to promote the overall developments for children with cerebral palsy.
