Participation and health-related quality of life in adults with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy and the role of self-efficacy

Abstract

A significant number of adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy encountered difficulties in social participation and had a low perceived health-related quality of life for physical functions. Higher general self-efficacy or a greater willingness to expend effort in achieving behaviour was related to better participation and a higher physical and mental health-related quality of life.
