Determining the Natural Course of Fatigue in Cerebral Palsy

---

Children and youth with cerebral palsy often experience fatigue that impacts their health and day-to-day life activities. At this time, it is difficult to predict who might be impacted by fatigue and how it will affect their daily lives. It is also unknown when in childhood or adolescence that fatigue becomes a problem, which makes it difficult to provide prevention or treatment opportunities for those at risk for developing significant fatigue. 

This study will survey up to 600 children and youth with cerebral palsy from age 7 to 18 years, of all ability levels, to determine when fatigue becomes a significant problem and to document the impact it has on their daily life.
