“…26,27,29 Furthermore, when children with CP do participate they are more likely to be engaged in passive activities being predominantly home-based and limited in variety (Majnemer et al 2008). 28 In different studies of participation in children with CP, there is consensus that the severity of motor impairment is a key predictor of participation restriction ( 30 It is easy to understand that with increasing severity in impairment there will be total body involvement which leads to limitations in participation.…”

INTRODUCTIONCerebral palsy (CP) is described as a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitations, which are attributed to nonprogressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain.The motor disorder of CP is often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication and behavior, by epilepsy, and by musculoskeletal problems.1,2 CP is clinically classified as spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and hypotonic; the most prevalent form is spastic CP, 3 which affects motor and postural development and which causes sensory disorders and learning disabilities. 4 There are an estimated over 25 lakh children and people in India with CP. The incidence of CP is up to 3 cases per 1000 live births. 5CP is in many ways the prototype for developmental disabilities. By definition the problems stem from one of many impairments of the developing central nervous ABSTRACT Background: Children with chronic functional limitations have considerably more difficulties in the social and behavioral aspects of their lives than typical children. In CP, dysfunction of muscle control prevails, which can lead to spasticity or shifting muscle tone, to associated pathological postures, and to decreased range of joint motions. Activity limitations refer to difficulties in executing tasks or actions which focused on limitations in mobility, addressing walking, lifting and arm/hand use, and in self-care activities. Few studies are available which measure the participation and impairments. But there is also need to evaluate participation in relation to impairments. So, the purpose of the current study is to find out the co-relation between motor impairment and participation in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Convenient sample of 20 children with CP were selected according to selection criteria i.e. diagnosed case of CP with age 5 years or more and children with conditions like autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, Down's syndrome, spina bifida, metabolic disorders, and traumatic brain injuries were excluded. GMFCS and PEDI were taken in each of them. Statistical analysis was done. Results: The result showed negative correlation between GMFCS level and different domains of PEDI: self-care, mobility and social function using spearman's correlation with r: -0.77, -0.82, -0.78. Conclusion: Children with lower level of GMFCS had higher participation while those with higher level of GMFCS had lower participation. So, participation is depends up on motor impairments.

“…The educational level of the parents is related to children's participation in skill-based and physical activities [5,16,22,24,26,30,31]. It is probable that environmental factors have different impacts on the child's pattern of participation in different cultures [2,[32][33][34]. The way in which children spend their leisure time may vary across countries, influenced as it is by differences in municipal resources, public services and societal and parental expectations [32,35,36].…”

“…For example, Australian adolescents with Asian-speaking background or those in urban environments opt for more sedentary leisure activities. Within Israel, Israeli girls are more likely to prefer skill-based activities than their Druze counterparts, although girls from both cultures enjoy social activities more than boys (Engel-Yager & Jarus, 2008;Hardy, Dobbins, Booth, DenneyWilson, & Okley, 2006;Imms, 2008;Michelsen et al, 2009;.…”

“…However, studies reveal that level of enjoyment of all types of leisure activities is high, comparable to typically developing peers. Diminished participation in active-physical activities has implications for health, whereas lack of involvement in more structured, formal skill-based activities decreases opportunities for social interactions and skill development (Imms, 2008;Maher et al;Michelsen et al, 2009). For these children and youth, it is as if they are observers in an aquarium, looking at the wide-ranging "ocean of possibilities" through the glass, but being unable to plunge in and participate.…”
