Brief Summary

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. To combat this deconditioning, the 2008 National Physical Activity and Sport Plan (PNAPS) sets out the main guidelines for treatment and implementation. The plan explains that "for patients with chronic illnesses, rare diseases or disabilities, the aim is to encourage care and guidance towards Adapted Physical Activity (APA). The attending physician will be able to identify local therapeutic education programs, rehabilitation services and "sport-santé" offers, to improve access for these patients to supervised local programs". In addition, the plan suggests "developing APA programs in healthcare establishments to enable people with chronic illnesses, rare diseases or disabilities to access health education incorporating practical sessions". In line with this plan, an exercise reconditioning program has been set up at our facility. This three-month stay includes children with a variety of pathologies, but with a common feature of physical deconditioning.

Conditions

Children With Cerebral Palsy; Children With Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Diagnoform test score

  To evaluate the effect of the return to physical activity stay prescribed by the doctors at the Flavigny CMPRE on the physical condition of the children taking part in the stay Score between 0 and 20 for each part of the test, with 20 being the best score (and therefore the best physical condition).

  Day of patient inclusion and 3 months after, day on which the study ends for the patient

Secondary Outcomes (14)

• KidScreen52 quality-of-life scale score.

  Day of patient inclusion and 3 months after, day on which the study ends for the patient

• Impedance measurement

  Day of patient inclusion and 3 months after, day on which the study ends for the patient

• Exercise test on ergometer

  Day of patient inclusion and 3 months after, day on which the study ends for the patient

• Anamnesis

  Day of patient inclusion and 3 months after, day on which the study ends for the patient

• 6-minute walk test

  Day of patient inclusion and 3 months after, day on which the study ends for the patient

Study Arms (1)

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.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 8 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample
