The MACS is a reliable instrument in a school environment and is related to the performance of daily life self-care activities at home. The interobserver reliability of the MACS was good (weighted κ =.

The Spearman correlation coefficient between the MACS and the self-care domain of the PEDI Caregiver Assistance Scale was high and statistically significant ( r =. The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) is a medical classification system used to describe how children aged from 4 to 18 years old with cerebral palsy use their hands with objects during activities of daily living, with a focus on the use of both hands together. The PEDI was scored in a structured interview. The MACS was classified by 2 independent raters. Sixty-one children with CP were included (mean age = 10.3 yr, range = 5–14). In addition, we assessed the interobserver reliability of the MACS. Our aim in this study was to investigate the relationship between (a) the manual abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP), assessed with the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) in a school rehabilitation setting, and (b) the children’s performance of self-care activities at home, assessed with the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). The SES does not appear to affect functional profiles.OBJECTIVE. The systematic evaluation of the IQ can provide useful information about a possible future outcome for every functional level. This study shows how the three functional classifications (GMFCS-E&R, CFCS and MACS) complement each other to provide a better description of the functional profile of CP. The MACS is also a simple, five-point ordinal classification system, analogous and complementary to the GMFCS, and was designed for use in children ages 418 years. in 2006, specifically to be an upper extremity analogue of the GMFCS. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to determine if there were differences between the GMFCS-E&R, the CFCS and the MACS by CP type.

The correlations between the IQ and the global functional disability profile were strong or moderate (GMFCS and IQ: r s = 0.66, p = 0.001 MACS and IQ: r s = 0.58, p = 0.001 CFCS and MACS: r s = 0.65, p = 0.001). The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) has been widely used to describe the manual ability of children with cerebral palsy (CP) however its reliability has not been verified in Brazil. The ability of children from 4 18 years old with cerebral palsy to handle objects in everyday activities can be categorized into 5 levels using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). A strong correlation was found between the three classifications: Level V of the GMFCS-E&R corresponds to Level V of the MACS ( r s = 0.67, p = 0.001) the same relationship was found for the CFCS and the MACS ( r s = 0.73, p < 0.001) and for the GMFCS-E&R and the CFCS ( r s = 0.61, p = 0.001). A total of 87 children (47 males and 40 females, age range 4–18 years, mean age 8.9 ± 4.2) were included in the study.
It was also geared to verify whether there is a correlation between these classification systems and intellectual functioning (IF) and parental socio-economic status (SES). This study aimed to investigate a possible correlation between the gross motor function classification system-expanded and revised (GMFCS-E&R), the manual abilities classification system (MACS) and the communication function classification system (CFCS) functional levels in children with cerebral palsy (CP) by CP subtype.
