Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy (CP)
  • Telerehabilitation
  • Physical Activity

Interventions

OTHER

Telerehabilitation

Participants in the telerehabilitation group will receive weekly home exercise instructions through a mobile application installed on their or their caregivers' smartphones, in addition to their standard rehabilitation program. These instructions will include videos, reminders, and directives for the exercises, with compliance monitored through mini-surveys delivered via the app.

OTHER

Conventional exercise

Participants in the conventional exercise group will continue their standard rehabilitation program supplemented with printed home exercise instructions, including visuals and text, similar to the content provided to the TG.
