项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): More than 50% of persons with CP experience limitations in walking skills and physical activity. Moderate to severely impaired children with CP have been reported to have less than normal general and physical health. Lower QOL has been documented for adolescents with a broad spectrum of disabilities compared to non-disabled youth. Current therapies for CP focus primarily on treating impairments (spasticity, strength, limited range of motion) with the goal of improved walking activity, health and overall QOL. Before we can assess the efficacy of current treatments on the health and QOL of youth with CP, we must first describe the relationship of activity level to health and QOL. The specific aims of this study are to test the 1) mean differences in activity performance, self-reported health status and QOL by level of activity capacity in youth with CP and typically developing youth, controlling for age, gender, SES & current day outlook; 2) the associations between activity level (performance) and self-perceived health status and QOL in youth with CP and TDY, controlling for age, gender, SES and current day outlook, and 3) explore a model specifying the influence of activity capacity and activity performance on health status and quality of life controlling for age, gender, SES and current global QOL. A better understanding of the relationship of daily walking activity performance to the life experience of youth with CP will enhance the efficacy research of treatments for mobility impairments in youth with CP.

描述（由申请人提供）：超过50％的步行技巧和体育锻炼经验限制的人。据报道，中度至严重受损的CP儿童的一般健康和身体健康不足。与非残疾青年相比，针对残疾人广泛的青少年已经记录了较低的QoL。 CP的当前疗法主要集中于治疗损伤（痉挛，强度，有限的运动范围），以改善步行活动，健康和整体质量质量。在我们可以评估当前治疗对CP青年的健康和质量的疗效之前，我们必须首先描述活动水平与健康和QOL的关系。这项研究的具体目的是测试1）活动表现，自我报告的健康状况和QOL的平均差异按CP青年的活动水平以及通常培养青年的活动水平，以控制年龄，性别，SES和当前日观点； 2）在CP和TDY的青年中，活动水平（表现）与自我感知的健康状况与QOL之间的关联，控制年龄，性别，SES和当前一天的观点以及3）探索一个模型，以指定活动能力和活动能力表现对健康状况的影响以及对年龄，性别，SES和当前全球QOL的健康状况和生活质量的影响。更好地理解日常步行活动表现与CP青年生活经验的关系，将增强对CP青年流动性障碍治疗的疗效研究。
