Summary
Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) are amongst the least active members of society. These decreased activity levels places them at high risk of additional disability and disease. This program of study focuses on (i) validation of an objective community based measure of Habitual Physical Activity (HPA) and (ii) a community based randomised clinical trial comparing a novel approach “motivational training” with a standard care intervention to enhance HPA in adolescents with CP.
