Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study pilots the efficacy of a home-based movement-to-music program for increasing physical activity participation among adolescents with cerebral palsy. Half of the participants will receive the movement-to-music program immediately, which will include 4 weeks of exercise videos and periodic behavioral coaching calls. The other half of participants will wait 4 weeks before receiving the M2M program.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The movement-to-music program has been tested among adults with physical disabilities and is currently being used in ongoing scale-up clinical trials. Current evidence suggests that the program can increase aspects of physical function among adults. The present study aims to test whether the same program can be used among adolescents with cerebral palsy. Study findings will be used to examine whether the videos require modifications prior to being implemented in a future scale-up trial for adolescents people with cerebral palsy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

M2M

Participants will receive and be instructed to follow-along with 4 weeks of movement-to-music videos. Participants will also receive periodic behavioral coaching calls from a telecoach.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Movement-to-music

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Movement-to-music is a physical activity program that was developed onsite at a state-of-the-art adapted fitness facility. The program includes movements that are coupled with music to enhance muscular strength, cardiorespiratory capacity, flexibility, and balance. For this study, the program will be packaged into playlists of exercise videos that will be given to participants. Participants will be instructed to complete the prescribed videos 3 times per week. Participants will also be asked to attend 4 behavioral coaching calls with a telecoach. The goals of the behavioral coaching calls will be to address issues with the technology components of the program and promote physical activity participation within the community and adherence to the movement-to-music videos.

Wait-list control

Participants will wait 4 weeks before starting the M2M program. Participants will be instructed to resume their normal daily activities during the wait-period.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
