This study highlights caregiver knowledge and preferences to understanding the GMFCS and how that information should be relayed from clinicians.
The GMFCS, MACS and CFCS are all tools used by therapists and researchers to help classify the functional capabilities of individuals with CP. This research article provides evidence of their stability over time.
The GMFCS can be a helpful tool in clinical and research use and has been shown to be stable and accurate over time. It can also help individuals and families better understand cerebral palsy.
The purpose of this study is to explore the breast cancer screening experiences of women with CP with the aim of identifying factors that could improve screening rates for women with disabilities.
Breast cancer is a major cause of mortality in women. Screening has been known to improve early detection for early treatment. Women with disabilities face many physical and attitudinal barriers to mammogram screenings. This webinar has been created to address the educational needs of technologists and to give women with cp and disabilities visual accurate information about the procedure.
