• Sommario/riassunto: What is the GMFM? The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is a clinical measure designed and validated to evaluate changes in the gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). There are two versions of the GMFM: the original 88-item measure (GMFM-88) and the 66-item measure (GMFM-66). These items are administered in the same way-the difference between the two versions simply concerns which of the items (from the full pool of 88 possible items) are included in GMFM-66. There are three methods of administering the GMFM to obtain a GMFM-66 score. All three methods require
