Calling All Adults Living with CP in the Island of Ireland!

The team at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (Dublin) are conducting a research study to deliver and evaluate an online exercise programme designed for adults with cerebral palsy (CP). 

They are inviting adults with CP to take part in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.

• The first group will join an eight-week online programme that includes weekly 60-minute group sessions focusing on improving strength, balance, and mobility. These sessions will also cover interactive topics such as pain management, fatigue, mental health, and maintaining physical activity, and participants will receive home exercise videos.
• The second group will receive educational resources on managing CP, covering the same topics, and will be given home exercise videos at the end of the 8- weeks.

To help them understand the impact of this programme, they will ask you to complete questionnaires before and after participating. They may also invite you to share your thoughts during a one-to-one discussion, which will help them improve the programme for other adults with CP in Ireland.

Before you decide whether or not to take part, it is important to understand why this research is being done and what it will involve.
