Abstract: Objective To evaluate the functioning of children with cerebral palsy. Methods 22 children with cerebral palsy aged 7-12 years were investigated with ICF-CY Questionnaire. Results There were impairments in body function of mental function, neuromusculoskeletal and movement related functions, sensory functions and pain. There were barriers in activity and participation in the domains of learning and applying knowledge, general tasks and demands, communication, mobility, self-care, domestic life, interpersonal interactions and relations, major life areas, and community, social and civil life. The mental function and neuromusculoskeletal and movement related functions correlated with the most domains of activity and participation (P<0.05). Conclusion Children with cerebral palsy are severe in activity and participation, which may be mainly associated with the impairments of mental function and neuromusculoskeletal and movement related functions.
