The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) classifies children with cerebral palsy into five levels. The levels are based on the children’s self-initiated ability to handle objects and their need for assistance or adaptation to perform manual activities in everyday life.[1]
| Does the child handle most kind of daily activities independently ( during play and leisure, eating and dressing) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Level 4 Handles easy activites with limitations and support | Level 5 Cannot handle daily activites has severely limited abilities to perform even simple actions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
