Gait Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
Study Summary
This trial will study the effects of a therapeutic gait training protocol on adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy. Blah blah metal in their body will interfere with MRI so they can't do that part of the study. A control group of neurotypical adolescents and young adults will also be assessed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the anticipated outcomes of this clinical investigation?
"This study primarily seeks to observe the change in motor response over a span of 8 weeks and baseline, with secondary objectives focused on cognitive changes induced by physical therapy. To measure this, researchers are using two survey measures - Silver Linings Questionnaire (Adapted for CP) which assesses people's beliefs about their illness' positive benefits despite negative consequences; as well as PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale which measures cognitive fatigue across pediatric populations. Additionally, Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning is being used to evaluate both immediate and delayed memory ability alongside new learning acquisition capabilities."
