简要总结
Individuals with cerebral palsy are known to have a reduced amount of physical activity; yet, there are no known intervention strategies for improving the number of steps they take each day. This study will use wearable physical activity monitors to assess if behavioral coaching is a viable strategy for combating the reduced physical activity seen in this patient population.
详细描述
A lack of physical activity in persons with cerebral palsy is known to have cascading effects on their overall health. Despite this recognition, there have been limited attempts to improve the physical activity of this patient population. The overall landscape of this project is that a cohort of persons with cerebral palsy will undergo 8 weeks of physical activity that is guided by behavioral coaching. This study aims to determine the impact of behavioral coaching on 1) the amount of daily physical activity, 2) changes in the sensorimotor cortical activity, 3) changes in laboratory assessments of functional mobility. The participants with CP will initially undergo neuroimaging and a battery of clinical assessments. After completing the baseline tests, the participants will undergo 8-weeks of behavioral coaching where they are encouraged to increase the number of steps they take per-day. After completing the 8 weeks, the participants will repeat the same assessments that were performed at baseline.

研究组 & 干预措施
Cerebral Palsy Youth/Young Adults
Baseline and 8-week assessments as well as 8 weeks of motivational interviewing 3x/week
干预措施: Motivational Interviewing (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Mobility Test Time
时间窗: Baseline 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 for Timed Up and Go
时间窗: Baseline 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.
Change in Time in 5 Times Sit-to-Stand
时间窗: Baseline 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.
Changes in Brain Activity
时间窗: Baseline 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.
