Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a 6-month physical activity intervention program on mobility and participation after the termination of a 6-week functional strengthening program for school-age children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. The primary outcomes are gross motor function, participation, and physical activity behavior.

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy
• Spastic Diplegia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Loaded sit-to-stand resistance exercise	Loaded STS exercise at home, 3 times a week for 6 weeks
BEHAVIORAL	Physical activity intervention	The intervention is based on the social cognitive theory and the transtheoretical model. There are two principle components, the individual consultation and the small group PA activities. In the individual consultation, assessment of current stage of readiness for PA will be performed first. Then, individualized, stage-matched feedback will be sent to the participants. Small group PA activities will be held every 2 weeks in order to increase learning opportunity by peer interaction, make exercise fun, and introduce a role model.
