Control complexity during gait, as measured by synergies, was significantly reduced among individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) compared with unimpaired individuals. Left: the mean total variance account for (tVAF) by one to four synergies increased with functional impairment level as measured by Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) level (top) and Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ) score (bottom). A GMFCS level of I and FAQ score of 10 represent the least impairment. Right: walk-DMC decreased with severity of impairment measured by both GMFCS level and FAQ score. The final boxplots (NA group) show results for participants missing GMFCS or FAQ data (see Table I). Brackets represent significant differences between groups (p<0.05).
