Abstract

 The Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) is a 10-item gait assessment based on the Dynamic Gait  Index. Gait disorders are very common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). To document the improvement in the gait of children with CP it is necessary to perform a proper functional analysis of the gait before and after the intervention. The present study will be intended at finding the normal value of FGA in children with CP in the age group from 5 to 12 years.

Keywords: Cerebral Palsy; Children; Gait Assessment; Normal Scores.
