简要总结
The inadequate number of rehabilitation sessions and the difficulties in accessing rehabilitation services for people with cerebral palsy result in delayed progress and low levels of physical activity for these people. As a result, it is well known that daily life often hinders the implementation of prescribed home programmes, leading to neglect. In the rehabilitation of people with cerebral palsy, physiotherapists face difficulties in monitoring patients and ensuring compliance with home exercise programmes. Both people with cerebral palsy and their carers often experience dissatisfaction and lack of motivation regarding the monitoring and control of development and activity.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation programme supported by a mobile application and a wearable activity tracker, in addition to a standard rehabilitation programme, on physical activity levels, quality of life, sleep quality, balance, activity participation and motivation, and patient satisfaction in people with cerebral palsy.

结局指标
主要结局
Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents
时间窗: Prior to the commencement of the study and following a period of six weeks from the initiation of the application.
The PAQ-A was developed by Kowalski et al. in 1997 to assess physical activity levels in adolescents (Kowalski et al., 2004). It is suitable for the 14-20 age group. The questionnaire consists of nine questions and assesses physical activity levels over the past seven days. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted in 2017. PAQ-A contains eight questions scored between 1 and 5, with a ninth question asking about any condition that might have prevented physical activity during the past week. A score of "1" indicates low-intensity physical activity, while "5" indicates high-intensity physical activity. The ninth question is not included in the scoring. The total score is calculated by averaging the scores of all questions (Aygün Polat, 2017).
Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale
时间窗: Prior to the commencement of the study and following a period of six weeks from the initiation of the application.
The PAES is a satisfaction scale developed by Mullen et al., consisting of eight items rated on a 7-point Likert scale (Mullen, 2011). The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Bozkurt et al. (Bozkurt et al., 2022).
