Tele-Rehabilitation Home Exercise Program for Ambulatory Adults With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurologic condition caused by a brain lesion(s) that occurs in the prenatal, perinatal or early postnatal period. Ambulatory adults with CP are at risk for gait deterioration and increased sedentary lifestyles due to their diagnosis, associated conditions and the impact of aging. Adults with CP often have limited access to physical therapy (PT) and community-based programs to sustain ambulation, reduce pain, prevent falls risk and increase fitness and physical activity. This Tele-Rehabilitation Home Exercise Program (TRHExP) is a prospective cohort study Participants in this feasibility study will engage in 150 minutes of exercise per week (30 min/day for 5 days/week) for 8 weeks and will have weekly virtual Exercise Coaching sessions with a trained project team member.
