Brief Summary

This study pilots the efficacy of a home-based movement-to-music program for increasing physical activity participation among adolescents with cerebral palsy. Half of the participants will receive the movement-to-music program immediately, which will include 4 weeks of exercise videos and periodic behavioral coaching calls. The other half of participants will wait 4 weeks before receiving the M2M program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in physical activity participation

  Participation in home, extracurricular, and community activities measured via the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE). The CAPE is used to document changes in everyday activities outside of the school-setting. The CAPE provides 3 levels of scoring: 1) overall participation scores; 2) domain scores that reflect participation in formal and informal activities; and 3) scores that reflect participation in 5 types of activity (active, physical, recreation, social, skill-based, and self-improvement activities).

  Baseline and Week 4

Study Arms (2)

M2M

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive and be instructed to follow-along with 4 weeks of movement-to-music videos. Participants will also receive periodic behavioral coaching calls from a telecoach.

Behavioral: Movement-to-music

Wait-list control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants will wait 4 weeks before starting the M2M program. Participants will be instructed to resume their normal daily activities during the wait-period.

Interventions

Movement-to-music BEHAVIORAL

Movement-to-music is a physical activity program that was developed onsite at a state-of-the-art adapted fitness facility. The program includes movements that are coupled with music to enhance muscular strength, cardiorespiratory capacity, flexibility, and balance. For this study, the program will be packaged into playlists of exercise videos that will be given to participants. Participants will be instructed to complete the prescribed videos 3 times per week. Participants will also be asked to attend 4 behavioral coaching calls with a telecoach. The goals of the behavioral coaching calls will be to address issues with the technology components of the program and promote physical activity participation within the community and adherence to the movement-to-music videos.
