Abstract: Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor disorder appearing in children, caused by damage to the brain before it has fully developed. The damage to the brain affects strictly the motor system, producing poor trunk control and poor manual dexterity. Objectives: To study the relationship between mannual dexterity and trunk control in school-age cerebral palsy children. Methods: Ten children with CP, aged between 7-12 years old with I to III of Gross Motor Function Classification System, had their trunk control measured by the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS). As well, their hand dexterity was measured by the Block and Box Test (BBT) and the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT). The link between hand dexterity (BBT and NHPT) and trunk control (TCMS) was done by using Spearman’s correlation. Results: There were large-sized positive correlations between the NHPT (dominant and nondominant hands) and BBT (dominant and non-dominant hands) results, to the TCMS trunk control in our 10 children with cerebral palsy (r = 0.8 [p = 0.002], r = 0.6 [p = 0.045], r = 0.7 [p = 0.014], r = 0.8 (p = 0.004) respectively) Conclusions: Manual dexterity and trunk control are linked by large-sized positive correlations.
