The ICF provides detailed classifications of ability and disability in the areas of Body functions (i.e. physiological functions of body systems), Body structures (i.e. anatomical parts of the body), Activities (i.e. execution of tasks), Participation (i.e. involvement in life situations), and Environmental factors (i.e. physical, social, and attitudinal environment).
The Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) was developed recently as a corresponding classification of manual ability.
Perry et al 12 suggested a three-category classification of gait ability: limited household ambulation-gait velocity < 0.4 m/sec; limited community ambulation-gait velocity of 0.4 0.8 m/sec; and functional community ambulation-gait velocity > 0.8 m/sec.
The change scores on the PEDI-FSS will be the dependent variable, and the classification of gross motor abilities, classification of manual abilities, cognition of the child and coping style of the parents will be analyzed as independent variables.
56 Classification of gross motor abilities change with age, therefore separate descriptions are used for different age bands.
The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), developed by Palisano and colleagues in 1997, has become internationally accepted for the classification of gross motor abilities for children with CP [ 2].
Linear-by-linear associations were used to assess the linear trend across the three classifications of hypnotic ability of the TAS.
Though it was proposed two decades ago, the classification ability of this family of networks has not been fully investigated yet.
We also evaluated the classification ability of the expression of several genes detected by microarray.
To estimate the classification ability of different groups of topological network descriptors, we combine groups 1 and 2 into a group of non entropy-based descriptors (NEBD).
