Description
Children with cerebral palsy do not commonly meet the minimum recommended physical activity guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Cerebral palsy puts an overwhelming time and financial burden on caregivers; therefore, this study aims to identify the facilitators of and barriers for children with cerebral palsy participating in physical activity. The study assumes to identify an association with poverty levels, community support, geographic location, accommodating services, and familial financial burdens as factors influencing participation. Data for the study comes from the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs. A chi-square test for association will be executed using statistical analysis software to determine if these factors are significantly associated with preventing participation in children with cerebral palsy.
