The general area of research is adults with Cerebral Palsy, and specifically their experiences of ageing.

本研究采用创造性和共建性研究方法的创新组合，从生命历程的角度探讨脑性瘫痪（CP）成年人的衰老体验。平等主义精神旨在最大限度地扩大参与和传播的可及性。CP是一种神经发育状况，始于婴儿期，并随着个体的成熟持续影响活动和参与，直至成年和老年。每1000例活产2.0 - 2.5例的稳定发病率（Pharoah et al. 1998，Odding et al. 2006，Surman et al. 2009），加上轻度至中度损伤人群的预期寿命延长（赫顿2008），表明成年人群中CP的患病率正在增加。事实上，现在患有CP的成年人是儿童的三倍（Rosembaum 2017），预测只会增加。

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.
