Study Overview
Brief Summary
Obese and overweight children or teens can join the Prevention and Care of Pediatric Obesity and Pediatric Diabetes Organization of Mulhouse. Those patients who are no longer able to exercize because of their physical condition start an effort rehabilitation program at the Organization. The study will evaluate the impact of this rehabilitation program on quality of life and appetency to physical activity for these children and teens.
Detailed Description
Because of a National Obesity Plan (2010-2013) initiated by the French government in charge of health, the Pediatric Obesity and Pediatric Diabetes Organization of Mulhouse was created in 2011.
This Organization is in charge of children or teens with:
- severe or growing obesity associated with respiratory, osteo-articular metabolic complications
- comorbidities worsened by obesity
The Organization and the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department of the Mulhouse Hospital have worked together to create an effort rehabilitation program for obese or overweight children. The program, aiming movement rehabilitation, is based on reinforcement and endurance activities in a playful atmosphere and in an important motivational dimension. A medical examination is performed before the first session to confirm the patient's ability to follow an effort rehabilitation program. Each session is supervised by a teacher of adapted physical activity.
