Study of personal coaching for youth with physical disabilities
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests how a personalized, goal-based coaching program affects “downstream” outcomes—things that change over time—for youth with physical disabilities. It may help participants and families understand what types of support lead to better day-to-day functioning and well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a youth with a physical disability such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, or juvenile arthritis
- You have restricted mobility, meaning you cannot safely go on all surfaces and stairs by yourself without help, aids, or support
- You live in Quebec or Ontario
- If you have thinking or communication challenges, you may be able to take part with help from a parent/guardian (proxy answers)
- You are not in the first year after a severe brain injury, or after major orthopedic surgery, or botulinum toxin treatment (within about the last 6 months or expected during the study)
