Summary

This trial tests whether an 8-week online exercise program is a practical and effective way for adults with cerebral palsy to improve strength, balance, and mobility. Participants are randomly assigned to either the online exercise and education group or a control group receiving educational materials only. The study measures feasibility, physical function, pain, and well-being, with interviews to gather feedback. If it works, this could lead to more accessible exercise options for this population.
