Monitoring Fatigue In Daily Life In Adults With Cerebral Palsy or Acquired Brain Injury

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Fatigue Symptom, Fatigue Intensity, Cerebral Palsy (CP), Acquired Brain Injury Including Stroke, Fatigue, Mental, Fatigue

In brief

The goal of this observational study is to learn about levels and patterns of fatigue in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI) in daily life. The main question it aims to answer is: How do adults with CP and ABI experience fatigue in daily life? Researchers will compare data from CP and ABI with healthy volunteers to see if they experience fatigue differently. Participants will: * Monitor their symptoms, mood, and behavior in real-time by completing a brief survey on their mobile phone 10 times a day for seven consecutive days. * Attend a briefing session the day prior to the seven-day period of real-time monitoring. * Wear an accelerometer for the seven-day period. * Complete a daily sleep diary for the seven-day period. * Receive feedback on their real-time monitoring data, sleep and activity data.
