Project summary

Adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) often report that their walking function deteriorates over time, and that this deterioration has important negative implications for activities of daily life and participation in social activities. 

The current study aims to develop, investigate feasibility, and test the respons of a functional exercise program for adults with CP in the primary health care setting in Norway. The main aim of the exercise program will be to improve walking function for young adults with CP.
