Baseline

Cerebral palsy (CP) classification

Classification of CP according to the European Surveillance Group (SCPE Guidelines, 2019): Spastic CP (bilateral or unilateral forms); Dyskinetic CP (dystonic form or choreoathetotic form); Ataxic CP.

Baseline

Anamnestic data related to the etiopathogenesis of the disorder

This refers to the medical history and background information that help in understanding the cause and development of a disorder i.e. visual and auditory impairments, birth weight, cognitive level, epilepsy, Apgar score and comorbidities.

Baseline

Level of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)

The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), is a five-level classification that differentiates children with cerebral palsy based on the child's current gross motor abilities, limitations in gross motor function, and need for assistive technology and wheeled mobility (Rosenbaum et al., 2008).

Baseline

Level of Manual Ability Classification System (MACS)

Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) classifies the child's ability from 4 to 18 years old to handle objects in daily activities on one of 5 levels (level I: greater ability, level V: less ability). MACS level I (able to handle objects easily and successfully), level II (able to handle most objects but with somewhat reduced quality and/or speed of achievement so that alternate ways of performance might be used), level III (handles objects with difficulty; needs help to prepare and/or modify activities), level IV (needs continuous support, handles a limited selection of objects), level V (does not handle objects, needs total assistance) (Eliasson et al., 2006).

Baseline

Level of Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF)

Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF) classifies fine motor function according to the child's best ability (capacity) to grasp, hold and manipulate objects for each hand separately. BFMF can be used in children from 3-18 years of age (Elvrum et al., 2016).

Baseline

Level of Visual Function Classification System (VFCS)

The Visual Function Classification System (VFCS) is a tool used to classify the level of visual function in individuals with disabilities, particularly in the context of cerebral palsy. It is divided into five levels, each describing the degree of visual ability and the impact on daily activities (Baranello et al., 2020).

Baseline

Level of Communication Function Classification System (CFCS)

The Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) is a classification tool used to assess and categorize the communication abilities of individuals with cerebral palsy or similar disabilities. It is divided into five levels, each describing the individual's ability to communicate in different environments with both familiar and unfamiliar partners.

Baseline

Level of Viking Speech Scale (VSS)

The Viking Speech Scale (VSS) is a classification system designed to assess and categorize the speech abilities of individuals with cerebral palsy or other neurological conditions that affect communication. It focuses on the clarity and intelligibility of speech, as well as the individual's ability to communicate effectively with others. The scale is divided into four levels (Pennington et al., 2013).

Baseline

Level of Eating and Drinking Classification System (EDACS)

The Eating and Drinking Classification System (EDACS) is a tool used to classify the eating and drinking abilities of individuals with disabilities, particularly in the context of cerebral palsy. It categorizes individuals into different levels based on their ability to safely and efficiently eat and drink, with a focus on both the safety and efficiency of these activities. The system is divided into five levels (Sellers et al., 2014).

Baseline

Neuroradiological classification according to the classification promoted by SCPE (MRICS)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Classification System is used in the context of neuroradiological assessment in cerebral palsy. A. Maldevelopments A.1. Disorders of cortical formation (proliferation and/or migration and/or organization A.2. Other maldevelopments (examples: holoprosencephaly Dandy-Walker malformation, corpus callosum agenesis, cerebellar hypoplasia) B. Predominant white matter injury B.1. PVL (mild/severe) B.2. Sequelae of IVH or periventricular haemorrhagic infarction B.3. Combination of PVL and IVH sequelae C. Predominant grey matter injury C.1. Basal ganglia/thalamus lesions (mild/moderate/severe) C.2. Cortico-subcortical lesions only (watershed lesions in parasagittal distribution/multicystic encephalomalacia) not covered under C3 C.3. Arterial infarctions (middle cerebral artery/other) D. Miscellaneous (examples: cerebellar atrophy, cerebral atrophy, delayed myelination, ventriculomegaly not covered under B, haemorrhage not covered under B, brainstem lesions, calcific
