520			_aABSTRACT: Background: Self-reported outcome measures are an increasingly important component of the assessment and management of children with cerebral palsy. The Gross Motor Functional Classification System expanded and revised version (GMFCS-E&R) is one of the most commonly used health related quality of life measures and has been translated into multiple languages. There are currently no self-reported questionnaires available in Nepali. Therefore the aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the (GMFCS-E&R) into Nepali and to evaluate its measurement properties in the 6-18 year age group. Results: Of the total 110 participants 69 (62.7%) were male and 41 (37.3%) were females. Mean age of the children was 12.47 and the Standard Deviation of 4.64. Based on the Gross Motor Function Classification System, we found that 39 (35.5%) of participants lies in level I and secondly in Level 5 there were 24 (21.8%). The acceptable Content validation index (CVI) was found to be 0.898. Measurement property testing revealed inter rater reliability internal consistency Cronbach’s α≥0.991. Conclusion: The Nepali version of the PEDsQL-CP was easily understood and demonstrated excellent reliability and validity measurement properties. It would be recommended as a quality of life measure of Nepali children with cerebral palsy in both clinical practice and for research purposes.
