 Co-creating a Novel Adaptive Cycling Intervention

​​for Children with Cerebral Palsy 

This project aims to co-develop and assess the feasibility of an exercise application for children living with neuromotor conditions, such as cerebral palsy. 

Why is this research important?

Exercise activities for youth with neuromotor conditions, such as cerebral palsy, often do not address the needs of the entire clinical population. By collaborating with patients, their families, and healthcare providers, this project aims to co-develop a child-centred indoor cycling application to promote exercise in children with a wide range of disabilities due to cerebral palsy. 

What does this study involve?

A 30 to 60-minute interview, in-person, over the phone, or online to help researchers better understand the perspectives of healthcare providers in regard to working with and implementing adaptive exercise technology for paediatric patients living with neuromotor conditions affecting movement, such as cerebral palsy.

We're Recruiting!

We are looking for HCP's who are currently working at least weekly with paediatric neuromotor patients, including but not limited to:

• Occupational therapists
• Physiotherapists
• Nurses
• Child life specialists
• Physicians
• Exercise scientists

The project is being led by Jordan Stevenson, PhD Student in the NEST Lab. To participate, email
