Researchers at Seattle Children’s and The Sports Institute at UW Medicine want to find ways to use technology called ExerciseRx to make in-home physical therapy routines easier, especially for teens who have cerebral palsy.

To take part in this ExerciseRx study contact at [email protected] for more information. For more information on Cerebral Palsy and our ongoing research, please reach out to us at [email protected].

This study might be a good fit for individuals who:
-Have Cerebral Palsy
-Can walk with or without a mobility device.
-Are between 13 and 17 years old.
-Would benefit from a simple home exercise routine.

Adolescents who decide to take part in this study would:
-Be prescribed a standard 5-week home exercise plan.
-Use the tablet provided to track exercise routine.
-Answer brief weekly e-mail surveys.
-Complete a virtual exit interview and questionnaire.

Adolescents who take part in this study get a physical therapy evaluation (in their home or at the University of Washington) with follow up support at no charge and a gift card to thank them for their time.

There may be possible benefits if you take part in the study: improved or maintained flexibility and strength, typical of home exercise regimens.
