Evaluation of the Benefits of Adaptive Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents With Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Evaluation of the Benefits of Adaptive Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents With Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder of increased bone fragility and low bone mass. It is conceivable that children and adolescents with OI are less active than healthy peers because of frequent fractures, immobilization,functionals limitations and no adapted physicals activity(APA). The hypothesis is that an Adapted physique activity could improve access of activity for patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).

The aim of the study is to evaluate benefice of APA,improve aerobic capacity, cardiovascular and bone benefits, and gain of quality of life.

Children with OI between 6 and 18 years old will have a program of supervised "adapted training program" during one year. The program is adapted at each individual and without risk for the patient.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Child with osteogenesis imperfecta
• Child followed in the Reference centre for constitutional bone diseases in the Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant
• Parent (s) / legal guardian who has been informed of the study and has accepted participation in the study by signing the consent.
• Patient benefiting from a social security scheme

Exclusion Criteria:

• Medical and surgical contraindications to adapted physical activity.
