<![CDATA[Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) frequently have this handicap. One prevalent kind of CP is spastic CP. Children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) often have elevated muscle tone, paresis, spasticity, muscle weakness, and impaired motor control, which can impair everyday activities and gross motor functioning. Children with spastic CP may have a lower quality of life as a result of these issues. This research attempts to ascertain how children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) perceive their quality of life in relation to muscular spasticity and gross motor performance. Methods: This study used a literature review with secondary data from research journal reviews in Indonesian and English. The search for research journals was accessed through Google Scholar and Pubmed databases with a minimum of Sinta or Scopus indexing. Journals were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The keywords used for this research journal search were “spastic cerebral palsy children”, “gross motor functional”, “spasticity”, “QoL”, and “quality of life”. Results: Quality of life in children with spastic CP depends on the type of spastic CP and the severity of spasticity. Children with high levels of spasticity and severe gross motor function impairment tend to have poorer quality of life compared to spastic CP with mild gross motor function impairment and low levels of spasticity. Conclusion: The level of spasticity and poor gross motor function probably affect the quality of life in spastic CP children.]]>
