Abstract
Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is predominantly motor disorder, however, it may be associated with dysfunctions, which also impact the functionality of the children.
Objective: To document the frequency of comorbidities in children with CP at different levels of the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).
Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Data were collected from 70 children diagnosed with CP, who were receiving physical therapy treatment in Belo Horizonte and the metropolitan region, through interviews and descriptive and quantitative analysis were performed.
Results: The most frequent comorbidities were limitations in the use of hands and arms, urinary and fecal continence deficiencies, voice and speech deficiencies, behavioral deficiencies, walking limitation and epilepsy. A greater number of comorbidities were found in children with greater impairment of gross motor function.
Conclusion: Health professionals should pay attention to the occurrence of comorbidities in CP, providing interventions to prevent or treat them, improving the functionality of these individuals.
