CP-Life published a new study exploring physical activity barriers for people with disabilities
A new study from RCSI’s School of Physiotherapy and CP-Life Research Centre, led by Dr Ailish Malone and coordinated by PhD scholar Karen Brady, examines how adolescents with a physical disability in Ireland are taking part in physical activity and identifies priorities for their enhanced participation. The CP-Life Research Centre works to improve services and supports for people with cerebral palsy throughout their life.
The study, published in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, aims to provide healthcare professionals and the wider community with insights on supporting young people with physical disabilities to become more involved in and enjoy in physical activities.
