Objective: The fundamental aim of the examination was to discover the commonnessof cerebral palsy by its portrayal like topographical conveyance and its relationshipwith GMFCS and MACS levels.Methods: Data was collected by using a self-madequestionnaire to gather data on sociodemographic data according to topographicaldistribution. Information was gathered from CP children of various enrolled institutesof Lahore (Hamza Foundation, Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation and Disabled(PSRD), Rising Sun institute, Children Hospital Lahore, Combined Military HospitalLahore (CMH)). Sample size was computed utilizing the online epitools software.MACS and GMFCS scales were applied. Descriptive studies were used to analysethe data.Results: Results showed that quadriplegia is the most frequently occurringfollowed by diplegia and hemiplegia. Classification of GMFCS levels and MACSlevels through topographic distribution was also find out. Results showed the highestpercentage of quadriplegic patients at level 3 of both GMFCS and MACS scales,whereas the least count noted was no hemiplegic child at level 1 or quadriplegic atlevel 4 of MACS scale.Conclusion: CP is chronic disorder distinguished worldwide.The study portray gross motor and fine motor capacities, clinical subtypes and otherrelated physical complications in children with CP.
