Classification
Manual Ability Classification System
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) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Does the child handle even more difficult tasks with fair speed and accuracy and does not need alternative ways to perform | Does the child perform number of mannual tasks which commonly need to prepared or adapted and help is needed occasionally | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes | No | Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 Handles objects easily and successfully | Level 2 Handles most objects with reduced quality and speed of acheivement | Level 3 Handles objects with difficulty but needs preparation | Can the child perform easy activites with frequent support | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Level 4 Handles easy activites with limitations and support | Level 5 Cannot handle daily activites has severely limited abilities to perform even simple actions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gross Motor Function Classification System
The Gross Motor Function Classification System or GMFCS also classifies children with cerebral palsy into five levels. The levels are based on self-initiated movement abilities, in particular sitting and walking.[2]
