Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) 3 By. Dr. J. K. Jain

Gross Motor Function Classification System Level 3:
Problem
: Children with GMFCS level 3 use some walking aid during indoor and wheel chair during outdoor activity.

Management Problem:In this stage our aim of management is to increase their ambulatory capability by all means so that they can be much comfortable with minimum support as much as they can do. In early age they need good therapeutic protocol so that they can increase strength of muscle & balance in body. In late age they may need surgical intervention along with intensive therapy to improve their balance & endurance so that they can use walking aid more efficiently both for outdoor and indoor activity.
