Abstract Background:Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common type of permanent movement and posturedisorder in childrenleading to contractures, deformities, and activity limitations. Quality of life is considered as an outcome variable to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for children with CP. Therefore, we aimed to examine the relationship between quality of life and gross motor function,manual ability, and cognitivefunction inchildren with CP. Methods:200children with CP aged 4-12 years participated in this study through convenient sampling. Then, their quality of life, gross motor ability, hand function, and cognitive level were assessed using Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life Questionnaire (CPQOL), Gross Motor Function Classification System scale, Manual abilities Classification System Scales and SPARCLE (Study of Participation of Children with Cerebral Palsy Living in Europe) scale, respectively. Results: The results demonstrated that only the functional domain of the CPQOL was significantly correlated withthe manual ability and cognitive level in these children (P=0.001, P=0.001 respectively). Conclusions:A child with CP with poor performance has the potential to report a poorQOL. This needs more evidence for elaboration.
