The results of this study will have an impact upon public heath policy as adults with cerebral palsy (CP) present a growing and underserved population in the United States. At the conclusion of this study, we will have identified the means by which the adult with CP maintains their upright position, which is essential for activities of daily living and for movement. With this knowledge, it will be possible to develop clinical and rehabilitation interventions that will improve their arm and leg function, and reduce the risk of falls for the adult with CP.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Center of Mass and Center of Pressure | The investigators will measure the movement of the subject's center of mass and center of pressure using a force platform while they are looking at different visual scenes and with slow force plate movements. | 4 hours | |
Secondary | Muscle activity | Muscle activity (recording using surface electrodes) will be performed while subjects are looking at different visual scenes and with slow force plate movements. | 4 hours | |
Secondary | Movement of the legs and trunk | Movement of the knee, ankle, hip and trunk (recorded using surface mounted markers) will be performed while subjects are looking at different visual scenes and with slow force plate movements. | 4 hours | |
Secondary | Visual dependence | Subjects will be seated in a chair, and asked to align a rotating rod to a vertical or horizontal position while receiving conflicting visual information ( a box placed around the rod in an off-center position) | 1 hour |
