In 2002, Beckung and Hagberg introduced the Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF) classification system. However, the initial version struggled to clearly distinguish between its five defined levels. Despite this, the BFMF system aimed to align with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels. Since its introduction, the BFMF system has been widely utilized in the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) registry and various epidemiological studies
Beckung and Hagberg developed the Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF) classification system in 2002. Although the initial version had limitations in clearly differentiating between its five levels, it aimed to align with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Since then, the BFMF system has been widely used in the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) registry and various epidemiological studies. The BFMF is a five-level ordinal scale, ranging from Level I (best performance) to Level V (most limited function), designed to assess the ability of children with cerebral palsy to use both hands together to handle objects. Evaluation is based on observation of bimanual performance and parental reports of usual performance. This study consists of two parts: a pilot study for physiotherapists, with defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a main study involving cerebral palsy patients, using a finalized Urdu version of the questionnaire to collect data.
1,853 studies on the registry are indexed under Cerebral Palsy; 435 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 63 across 455 observational studies indexed under Cerebral Palsy.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
the study focuses on school-aged children with various types of Cerebral Palsy, with moderate to severe gross motor impairments, as classified by the GMFCS system. The study does not include children who have musculoskeletal problems, chronic health conditions, or mental health concerns that may impact their ability to participate or affect the study's outcomes.

Bimanual fine motor classification system 2
Urdu version of Bimanual fine motor classification system 2 The Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF) classifies fine motor function in children with cerebral palsy. The five levels in BFMF form an ordinal scale, which means that the levels are 'ordered' but differences between levels are not necessarily equal, and each level includes children with relatively varied function. It is therefore unlikely that BFMF is sensitive to changes after an intervention.
