Improving Activity in Individuals With Cerebral Palsy
This study is looking for people aged 11 to 45 with cerebral palsy (CP) to explore ways to increase their daily physical activity. Many individuals with CP tend to be less active, and this study aims to see if behavioral coaching can help. You would wear an activity monitor and receive coaching sessions three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in your mobility, like how quickly you can walk or stand up from a chair, at the beginning and end of the study. The goal is to find effective strategies to improve physical activity in people with CP. The study plans to enroll 32 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 32 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would undergo neuroimaging and clinical assessments at the start, participate in 8 weeks of behavioral coaching sessions three times a week, and then repeat the assessments.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your mobility will be measured at baseline and again after 8 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Change in Mobility Test TimeBaseline and 8 weeks
The participant will be asked to perform a series of 10-meter walking tasks such as walking at preferred speed, walking as fast as possible, walking while turning the head, walking around cones, and stepping over a box. The participant will also be asked to walk as far as possible for 1 minute. Completion time will be the primary outcome for these tests. Additionally, the tests will also be digitally video-recorded and scored by an independent assessor.
- Change in Time in 5 Times Sit-to-StandBaseline and 8 weeks
The participant will start the test by sitting on a bench. The time it takes to stand up and sit down five times will be the outcome measure.
- Change in Time for Timed Up and GoBaseline and 8 weeks
The participant will start the test by sitting on a bench. The time it takes the participant to stand-up, walk to a line on the floor that is 3-meters away and return to sitting on the bench will be the outcome measure.
- Changes in Brain ActivityBaseline and 8 weeks
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) will be used to assess the changes in the cortical activity while producing a leg motor action and processing peripheral sensations.
