Gross Motor Function Measure

The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is a clinical tool used to assess a child's ability to perform large movements, such as crawling, walking, and jumping. It helps healthcare professionals evaluate progress and create personalized treatment plans for children with motor development challenges, like cerebral palsy. The GMFM involves observing and scoring specific tasks, providing a standardized way to measure improvements or changes over time. It is a reliable, evidence-based method to understand a child's gross motor skills and track their development on a structured scale.
