This research proposes to explore the embodied experience of ageing from a lifecourse perspective in adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP), using an innovative combination of creative and co- constructed research approaches. The egalitarian ethos aims to maximise both inclusion of participation, and accessibility of dissemination. CP is a neurodevelopmental condition that starts in infancy and continues to affect activity and participation as individuals mature through to adulthood and into old age. Steady incidence rates of 2.0 -2.5 cases per 1000 live births (Pharoah et al. 1998, Odding et al. 2006, Surman et al. 2009), coupled with increased life expectancy for people with mild to moderate impairment (Hutton 2008) indicates that prevalence of CP in the adult population is increasing. Indeed, there are now three times as many adults living with CP as there are children (Rosembaum 2017), forecast only to increase.

本研究旨在从脑瘫成人的生命历程角度探讨衰老的具体体验，采用创造性和共构性研究方法的创新结合。平等主义精神旨在最大限度地扩大参与的包容性和传播的可及性。CP是一种始于婴儿期的神经发育疾病，随着个体的成熟，直至成年和老年，它会继续影响活动和参与。每1000名活产婴儿中有2.0 -2.5例的稳定发病率（Pharoah等人，1998年，Odding等人，2006年，Surman等人，2009年），加上轻度至中度损伤者的预期寿命增加（Hutton 2008年），表明成年人群中CP的患病率正在增加。事实上，现在患有CP的成年人数量是儿童数量的三倍（Rosembaum 2017），预计只会增加。
