Self-perceived fatigue in relation to activity and participation in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy living in urban South Africa

This study investigates self-perceived fatigue and the levels of accomplishment and satisfaction in daily activities among adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in urban South Africa, compared to their typically developing peers. The findings reveal that while individuals with CP experience similar levels of fatigue as their peers, they report lower accomplishment and satisfaction scores in their activities. Despite these challenges, participants with CP expressed independence in daily activities and community participation, indicating that fatigue may not directly impact their perceived quality of life.
