FIDELIO Project Falling in the lives of adults with Cerebral Palsy

FIDELIO Project

Falling in the lives of adults with Cerebral Palsy: Taking action to prevent, manage, and support through the life course

Can you help the University of Nottingham and Scope?

Purpose of the study is to collect information about:

1. Why adults with cerebral palsy fall, trip, stumble – from standing, from a wheelchair, while transferring (e.g. from wheelchair to bed)
2. Consequences of the fall/trip/stumble – physical, emotional, social, economic
3. Assistance, services and strategies used (in past and present) to reduce and manage falls and fear of falls

We want to talk to people with cerebral palsy:

• Age groups: young age (18-34), middle age (35-49), older age (50-64)
• Location: communities in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland
• Have the capacity to consent and participate

Different ways to participate and communicate
