Summary

This trial will evaluate a mobile website that helps people with cerebral palsy set goals and complete exercises to meet those goals. Participants will spend 1:15/week for 6 weeks and complete assessments before and after.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teens aged 3-17 with unilateral cerebral palsy who can follow directions, use a personal device to access the Go Move website, and are not restricted by their doctor from daily activities. It's open to all ethnic/racial groups. Those with severe visual impairments, uncontrolled epilepsy, or behavioral issues cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests the acceptability and effectiveness of 'Go Move', a mobile site designed to help youth with unilateral cerebral palsy set goals and choose exercises. Participants will engage in a home program for over an hour weekly for six weeks while using Go Move.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves goal-setting and exercise guidance through a website without medication or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, typical exercise-related discomforts may occur.
