Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of applying the GMFM scale in assessing and setting appropriate goals in the rehabilitation of a child with cerebral palsy.
Subjects and Methods: A case study was conducted on a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy, assessing the severity and setting treatment goals over an 8-week period.
Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, assessments using the GMFM scale showed improvements in domains A, B, C, and D with scores of 51, 12, 30, and 8, respectively. Domain E could not be evaluated as the patient discontinued treatment.
