This study was executed as correlation study to investigate the correla-tion between the dimensions of diaphragm movement, and respiratory functions and pressures in accordance with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels on children with cerebral palsy as the participants. Forty-three children in the age range of 5–13 years di-agnosed with cerebral palsy as the research participants were divided into three groups (levels I, II, and III) through systematic stratified ran-dom sampling in accordance with their GMFCS levels. Pearson correla-tion analysis was executed to examine the correlation between dimen-sions of diaphragm movement, and respiratory functions and pressures in accordance with the GMFCS levels of the participants. There was no significant correlation between the dimensions of diaphragm move-ment, and respiratory functions and pressures in all of the three groups in accordance with the GMFCS levels of the participants. Therefore, it is deemed that although measurement of the dimensions of diaphragm movement of children with cerebral palsy by using diagnostic ultrason-ic M-mode imaging device can be considered as auxiliary tool in pre-dicting the breathing capabilities, it cannot be used as independent measurement equipment.
