Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Growth and Development Disorders in Pediatrics Summary: Purpose of the study : This study aimed to determine the relationship between the gross motor functional level, quality of life (QOL) and body mass index (BMI) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and to compare between diplegic and hemiplegic children in functional level, QOL and BMI Methods: One hundred CP children were participated in this study (58 diplegic and 42 hemiplegic children). Their age ranged from 8-12 years. All children were assessed for their functional level, BMI and QOL using gross motor functional classification system (GMFCS), BMI-for age and gender charts and pediatric quality of life inventory CP module (PedsQL) respectively. Results: The results showed non-significant relationships between BMI and PedsQL subtests scores in both groups with the exception of pain and hurt and fatigue subtests in diplegic group. Significant negative relationships were observed between GMFCS levels and PedsQL scores in both groups with the exception of speech and communication subtest in hemiplegic group. Non-significant negative relation between GMFCS levels and BMI in both groups. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences in functional levels, and some PedsQL subtests scores between both groups in favor of hemiplegic children while non-significant difference was observed in BMI between both groups
