Conditions

bilateral spastic cerebral palsy CP

Interventions

The subjects play two Wii-Sports games (tennis and boxing) for 15 minutes each with a 10 minute rest between the games. If a subject is not able to play the games while standing up he or she can sit

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - bilateral spastic cerebral palsy - born between 1-5-1959 en 1-5-1979

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Other disorders than CP which influence physical activity and fitness (e.g. lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis) - disorders for which maximum physical strain is too riskfull - not understanding the research tasks due to congnitive disorders or language - total weelchair-dependant

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Feasibility : The feasibility of adults with bilateral spastic CP to play Wii-Sports will be determined with custom made questionnnaires. Examples of questions are:"Can the subject hold the Wii-controller?", "Is the subject physical capable to play Wii-Sports?", "Can the subject play Wii-Sports for 10 minutes continuously?". Energy expenditure: The amount of oxygen uptake in the blood (VO2) is used to measure the energy expenditure of the subjects while playing Wii-Sports. The VO2 is expressed in L/min (absolute VO2) or ml/kg/min (relative VO2) or in ml//FFM(kg)/min (relative VO2 per fat free mass). The VO2 is measured with the Cosmed K4 b2 (COSMED, Rome, Italië), a portable system for pulmonary gas exchange analysis.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Metabolic equivalent (MET): Energy expenditure during Wii-Sports will also be expressed in Metabolic equivalents (METs) to compare the results with energy expenditure data from playing actual sports. A MET is a multiple of oxygen consumption in rest ( in this study we use the energy expenditure during sitting). Heart rate (HR): De heart rate (HR) is the amount of times the heart beats per minute (bpm). The HR is measured with the Cosmed K4 b2. Perceived exertion: Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working. It is based on the physical sensations a person experiences during physical activity, including increased heart rate, increased respiration or breathing rate, increased sweating, and muscle fatigue. Perceived exertion will be measured with the Modified Borg Scale after Wii-Sports tennis and boxing.	—
