AB  - This study aimed to determine differences in functional profiles and movement 
      disorder patterns in children aged 4-12 years with cerebral palsy (CP) and 
      periventricular white matter injury (PWMI) born >34 weeks gestation compared with 
      those born earlier. Eligible children born between 1999 and 2006 were recruited 
      through the Victorian CP register. Functional profiles were determined using the 
      Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Abilities 
      Classification System (MACS), Communication Function Classification System 
      (CFCS), Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) and Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF). 
      Movement disorder and topography were classified using the Surveillance of 
      Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) classification. 49 children born >34 weeks (65% 
      males, mean age 8 y 9 mo [standard deviation (SD) 2 y 2 mo]) and 60 children born 
      </= 34 weeks (62% males, mean age 8 y 2 mo [SD 2 y 2 mo]) were recruited. There was 
      evidence of differences between the groups for the GMFCS (p=0.003), FMS 5, 50 and 
      500 (p=0.003, 0.002 and 0.012), MACS (p=0.04) and CFCS (p=0.035), with a greater 
      number of children born </= 34 weeks more severely impaired compared with children 
      born later. Children with CP and PWMI born >34 weeks gestation had milder 
      limitations in gross motor function, mobility, manual ability and communication 
      compared with those born earlier.
