About this trial

This clinical trial aims to determine whether extrinsic feedback through music enhances the effects of home-based motor training for adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and whether feedback improves adherence to the training program.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does extrinsic feedback improve real-world movement more than home training alone? * Do participants receiving extrinsic feedback adhere more closely to their training program?

To determine its effectiveness, the investigators will compare home-based training with and without real-time music feedback.

Participants will:

* Engage in a home-based motor training program for 12 weeks, tailored to their individual needs and goals. * Receive real-time music feedback during training or no feedback (control group). * Attend weekly virtual coaching sessions to discuss short-term goals and training progress. * Undergo movement assessments before training, at 12 weeks (T2) and 24 weeks (T3). * Wear movement sensors for 72 hours at T2 and T3 to track real-world movement behavior.
