Collegiate student-athletes dedicate countless hours in pursuit of gold medals and national championships, but only 2% will go on to play their sport professionally. The Husky Fellowship was created to help student-athletes pursue their professional goals while continuing to excel in sport. Help a student-athlete find their next career by donating to The Sports Institute's Husky Fellowship Endowment Fund: https://lnkd.in/gSkW-PVd #HuskyGivingDay #UW #UWMedicine #Philanthropy

Researchers at Seattle Children’s and The Sports Institute at UW Medicine want to find ways to use technology called ExerciseRx to make in-home physical therapy routines easier, especially for teens who have cerebral palsy. To take part in this ExerciseRx study contact at exerciserx@uw.edu for more information. For more information on Cerebral Palsy and our ongoing research, please reach out to us at tsiadmin@uw.edu. This study might be a good fit for individuals who: -Have Cerebral Palsy -Can walk with or without a mobility device. -Are between 13 and 17 years old. -Would benefit from a simple home exercise routine. Adolescents who decide to take part in this study would: -Be prescribed a standard 5-week home exercise plan. -Use the tablet provided to track exercise routine. -Answer brief weekly e-mail surveys. -Complete a virtual exit interview and questionnaire. Adolescents who take part in this study get a physical therapy evaluation (in their home or at the University of Washington) with follow up support at no charge and a gift card to thank them for their time. There may be possible benefits if you take part in the study: improved or maintained flexibility and strength, typical of home exercise regimens.
