Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)

The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is a standardized tool used to assess and track the gross motor skill development of children, particularly those with disabilities like cerebral palsy. It evaluates movements such as sitting, crawling, standing, and walking through specific tasks. The GMFM helps healthcare professionals understand a child's abilities and monitor changes over time, guiding treatment and therapy decisions. By providing a structured way to measure progress, the GMFM supports personalized care and helps families understand their child's motor function development.
