Cerebral Palsy is a disorder of posture and movement due to a brain injury and may result in neurological and motor dysfunction, usually associated with the severity of the sequelae and the child’s age. Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy treated at the Lucy Montoro Rehabilitation Center in São José dos Campos in the state of São Paulo. Method: 83 medical records were reviewed from December 2011 through December 2014. Factors were recorded such as age, gender, origin, prior physical therapy, types of cerebral palsy according to anatomical distribution, seizures, orthoses, treatment with botulinum toxin, auxiliary means of locomotion, GMFM score, and GMFCS level. Results: There was a predominance of males (55%) and 32% of them were aged between 4 and 6 years. The majority were from São José dos Campos (33 individuals). As to the types of Cerebral Palsy, there was a higher prevalence for tetraplegia and diplegia (43% each); 61% of the patients did not have seizures, and 30% had applications of botulinum toxin. There were 41% who needed assistive devices for locomotion. The prevalent score of GMFM was 0-25% (22 individuals), and the largest portion (29%) classified as level IV in the GMFCS. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to define the epidemiological profile of children with Cerebral Palsy for a better characterization of this population and guidance for future research
