Brooks GMFCS Level III
Weight, height and BMI in cerebral palsy, walks with a walking aid
About this calculator
Percentiles and z-score for weight, height and BMI of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy of GMFCS Level III (walks with a mobility aid) according to the growth curves of Brooks 2011 (2–20 years). The curves describe how children at this functional level actually grow – they are not a target; the authors identify weights below P20 as associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
In preterm infants, if a gestational age is given, age is corrected up to month 24 of life for the missing weeks up to 40+0. The z-score (SDS) describes the deviation from the median in standard deviations; the percentile the proportion of the reference population with a smaller value.
