Purpose: The investigators aimed to understand the unmet needs of adults with cerebral palsy (CP) living in urban South Africa and to ascertain similarities or differences to typically developing (TD) adults in the same community.
Materials And Methods: Participants were interviewed with an adapted version of the Southampton Needs Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ). Non-parametric statistical analysis was utilised for quantitative data and qualitative data were analysed using free coding to identify themes.
Research in high income countries shows that people with cerebral palsy (CP) are less physically active than typically developing (TD) peers, but less is known regarding physical activity (PA) in those with CP in low-to-middle income countries. The aim of this study was to determine daily step count and levels of PA in adolescents and adults with CP living in urban South Africa, compared to TD peers, and to determine associations with sex, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level, body mass index and socio-economic status. This case-control study included 26 adolescents and 22 adults with CP (GMFCS Level I-V) and matched TD peers (25 and 30, respectively).

Materials And Methods: This case-control study included 31 adolescents and 30 adults with CP (gross motor function classification system [GMFCS] Level I-V) and matched TD peers. Assessment tools used were a pain questionnaire, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36v2), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and General Self Efficacy (GSE) scale.
