AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for children aged 8 to 18 with a chronic disease, rare disease or disability who are out of shape from lack of exercise and are staying at the CMPRE to restart physical activity.

Age

8 to 18 years

Sex

All sexes

Disease stage

A chronic disease, rare disease or disability with physical deconditioning (loss of fitness from lack of exercise).

Earlier treatment

Must be taken in charge at the CMPRE for a stay to resume physical activity. Must not be in rehabilitation during the stay.

Main reasons for not taking part

• Under 8 or over 18 years old
• In rehabilitation during the stay
• Significant change in their therapeutic management during the stay
• Significant cognitive impairment that prevents understanding instructions
• Significant club or leisure sports activity (3x/week)

What the trial wants to find out

A WHO study in 2020 revealed that 81% of adolescents (aged 11-17) do not respect the recommendation of one hour of moderate physical activity per day. In the context of disability, many factors impose limits on physical activity. While the pathology itself induces limitations and restrictions (prolonged sitting time, assisted movement, etc.), organizational constraints also apply to both children and parents, who have to divide their time between work, school and therapeutic care, which is sometimes numerous and varied over the course of a single week. These limitations generate stress and fatigue, and prolonged sedentary periods lead children with chronic illnesses, rare diseases or disabilities into a process of physical deconditioning. The accumulation of sedentary time is detrimental to cardiovascular and metabolic health.

The group in the trial

• Deconditioning to physical exertion

  The children taking part in the return-to-physical-activity program are referred to the Flavigny-sur-Moselle CMPRE for medical consultation due to a state of deconditioning to physical exertion concomitant with a pathological situation. The pathology most frequently encountered during this stay is cerebral palsy. However, the Flavigny CMPRE is accredited in a number of fields (orthopedics, burns, neurology, oncology), and the pathologies of the children referred to this stay are representative of these. These include children with scoliosis, obesity, Guillain-Barré syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Charcot's disease and cancer.
