Notes
- Abstract:
- The present study examined the effect of an 8-week walking intervention on perceived pain and affective responses to exercise amongst eight cerebral palsy individuals. The intervention consisted of two 30-minute walking sessions each week, under the direction and supervision of the UCP occupational therapist and certified staff. The independent variable for this study was the group (experimental; n=4 vs. control; n=4); whereas the dependent variables for this study were mean chronic pain scores as measured by the SFMPQ; mean acute pain scores as measured by the FPS-R; mean acute affective valence scores as measured by the SAM-V (Lang, 1980), and mean acute affective activation scores as measured by the SAM-A (Lang, 1980). Visual analysis, descriptive statistics, and qualitative analysis revealed that the intervention was successful for the experimental group in increasing acute valence and arousal during and following individual sessions of walking; in addition to mildly decreasing acute and chronic pain during and following individual walking sessions.
