The feasibility and efficacy of coach-led virtual home-based cycling among individuals with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that impairs motor control and coordination, often leading to physical and social restrictions in daily activities. This single-arm feasibility study investigates the potential efficacy of virtual moderate- to high-intensity cycling at home among individuals with CP.

Methods

Twenty-three individuals with CP (GMFCS I-IV; 16 males; mean age 26, range 13-58 years) were recruited for a 12-week home-based cycling intervention. The intervention included three weekly sessions, which could be completed either in an online coach-led group setting or independently, along with guidance for additional training. The primary focus was feasibility, addressed by retention, adherence, and safety. Efficacy was primarily evalua
