Overview
People with disabilities are less physically active than the general population. Their barriers to physical activity are multiple and include intrapersonal, organizational, societal and interpersonal reasons. Nevertheless, at present, the evolution of their barriers to physical activity and the short- and long-term impact of medical and medico-social treatments to limit them are unknown. The aim of this study is to describe barriers to physical activity, or disability-related underperformance factors in competitive sports, in patients with cognitive, neuromotor or sensory impairments during aging.
Detailed description
This is an ambispective, monocentric, cohort study of subjects with cognitive, neuromotor or sensory impairments followed in a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department.
All consecutive eligible outpatient subjects consulting to the Parasport Health Unit of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of our university hospital will be included. Clinical activities related to the Parasport Health Unit and performed outside the hospital will also be included.
Data will be collected from the patients' medical records, in particular data related to their clinical, radiological, biological and physiological examinations.
Interventions
- Other standard of care for patients with cognitive impairments
clinical examination, radiological, biological and physiological examinations. - Other standard of care for patients with neuromotor impairments
clinical examination, radiological, biological and physiological examinations. - Other standard of care for patients with sensory impairments
clinical examination, radiological, biological and physiological examinations.
Primary outcome measures
- Changes of barriers to physical activity during aging [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Changes of physical activity level during aging [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Characteristics of medical and medico-social therapies implemented to limit barriers to physical activity [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Characteristics of the medical and medico-social therapies implemented to limit disability-related underperformance factors for competitive sports [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Characteristics of devices (orthoses, prostheses, etc.) and technical aids used to facilitate the practice of physical activity [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Evolution of comorbidities during aging [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Evolution of exercise stress tests results during aging [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year]
