- Abstract
Manual Ability Classification System provides a systematic method to classify how children with cerebral palsy use their hands when handling objects in daily activities. MACS is a subjective classification system and is based upon self-initiated manual abilities, with a particular emphasis on handling objects in a individual's personal space. MACS is designed for children with cerebral palsy, aged 4 to 18 years.
