Commonly asked questions

A low GMFM score may suggest difficulties performing gross motor skills compared to peers. It could indicate mobility, coordination, or strength limitations requiring targeted interventions or therapies.

Positive changes or increases in the GMFM score indicate improvements in gross motor function. This suggests that interventions or therapies positively impact the child's motor skills and overall functional abilities.

While the GMFM score provides insights into gross motor function, it may not predict future gross motor function curves and abilities. However, improvements in GMFM scores often correlate with enhanced functional skills and can guide therapy goals and interventions for ongoing progress.
