Median score of ECAB for Part 1 was 28(14–36), part 2 was 0 (0–11); total 32(14–45)] and median of QUEST for dissociated movements was 71.87(25–100), grasps was 61.66(11.11– 92.59), weight bearing was 69.44( 16.66–100), protective extension was 61.11(11.11–100), total was 66.11(11.80–94.90). There were significant high correlation between QUEST, GMFM (r=0.732, p<0.001) and ECAB (r=0.688, p<0.001). Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between quality of upper limb abilities and postural control in early period of children with spastic quadriplegia. When postural control is improved, quality of upper limb abilities is increased.
