There were no distinction between thepercentage of gross motor level based on GMFCS andfeatures of age, gender, birth weight, gestational age at birth, types of birth (p>0,05). There were a statisticallysignificant relationship between gross motor according to GMFCS and time of palsy and spastic cerebraldiagnosis (p<0,05).Conlussion: Most of the patients have gross motor at level 5 according to GMFCS, the result shows arelationship between gross motor and time of palsy and spastic cerebral diagnosis.
