This study was conducted to assess the magnitude of hip subluxation and its correlation with Gross motor function classification scale (GMFCS) androle of combined hip abduction angle (CHAA) in early identification of cerebral palsy children at risk for hip subluxation. This cross sectional study included 114 Cerebral Palsy children (mean age 3.95 years) who were screened for hip subluxation and were classified according to GMFCS scale and correlated with migration percentage.CHAA was measured using goniometer. The magnitude of hip subluxation in our study was 15 % which was more in non–ambulators as its prevalence increases from GMFCS level 1 to 5. CHAA is a useful test for early identification of hip at risk for subluxation as chance of hip subluxation increased with decreased CHAA angle.
