The Gross Motor Function Classification System was used to classify the gross motor function levels of individuals with CP. This system is a standard classification system developed by Robert Palisano. KMFSS is based on actively initiated movements by the individual, focusing on sitting, position change and mobility. In this five-level system, it is important that the differences between levels are evident in life activities. The differences are determined by the limitations in functional activities, the need for manual movement aids (walkers, canes, crutches, etc.) or wheeled transport vehicles. The quality of the movement is of little importance

This scale, which will be used to evaluate constipation in individuals, was used in 1989 in McMillan SC. et al. It is a valid and reliable scale consisting of 9 questions that can be answered by the individual about the presence and severity of constipation and can be used in children and adults. It contains eight items, each classified as "no problem" by the patient. It is scored as 'no problem' (0 point), 'some problem' (1 point) or 'serious problem' (2 points). The item scores are then added up and the total score ranges from 0 (no constipation) to 18 (worst possible constipation).
