 The aims of this study were to know whether 1) Manual Function Test (MFT) was useful to measure the upper extremity function of children with cerebral palsy, and 2) whether we could estimate basic ADL independence from Manual Function Score (MFS).

 Methods : We carried out MFT, Motor Age Test (MAT) and Social Maturity Scale(S-M test) on 67 children with cerebral palsy, except the hemiplegic type, who were admitted to institutions for physically disabled children and compared their results.

 Results: MFS of the subjects were correlated with motor age of the upper extremity(r = 0.92, y = 17.5 + 1.15x). In each sub-test of middle items within the MFT, the average MFS of subjects, who were able to accomplish the sub-test, were higher than the average MFS of the subjects who could not accomplish the test. Items that were classified as related to basic ADL, which were extracted from the "Self Help" section of S-M test, were compared. Results showed that the average MFS of the subjects who became independent was significantly higher than that of subjects who didn't become independent at each Basic ADL.

 Discussion: It was suggested that the MFT was useful for children of cerebral palsy except for the hemiplegic type. MFS was above 80~85 for subjects with good ability of upper extremity function, resulting in complete independence in basic ADL.
