Study summary

Background Individuals with rare skeletal disorders frequently experience psychological distress, social isolation, unmet needs, and significant challenges due to limited treatment options. Adventure Therapy, employing exposure to natural environments, has shown promise in improving self-esteem, autonomy, and social skills in chronic illness and disability populations. This pilot study explores the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a sailing-based intervention for enhancing physical, social, and psychological well-being in this specific population.

Outcome Measures The primary outcome is to investigates the feasibility of sailing to improve well-being and quality of life in patients living with rare skeletal disorders.

Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that participation in a sailing program led by occupational therapists will lead to improvements in:

  • Movement confidence: assessing whether sailing enhances participants' ability to move and perform daily activities.
  • Mental health: evaluating if sailing reduces anxiety and fear and promotes self-esteem.
  • Social interaction: exploring if sailing fosters social connection and reduces feelings of isolation.

Methods The study will use a prospective, single-arm, longitudinal design. Eight participants with rare skeletal disorders will be enrolled in a 5-day sailing-based occupational therapy intervention. Comprehensive pre- and post-intervention assessments will measure psychosocial factors, quality of life, functional mobility, kinesiophobia, and body segment movement using questionnaires and functional scales.

Read the detailed description

Rare skeletal diseases represent a significant global health burden, affecting millions of people worldwide. These chronic, debilitating conditions necessitate the development of optimized clinical pathways and comprehensive support systems.

Adventure therapy (AT) has emerged as a promising intervention for individuals with chronic conditions, demonstrating improvements in self-esteem, autonomy, and social skills. Sailing, a form of AT, offers opportunities for physical activity, social inclusion, and emotional well-being in individuals with disabilities.

This study aims to assess the feasibility of using sailing as an occupational therapy intervention for patients with rare skeletal diseases. We hypothesize that sailing can enhance physical, cognitive, and social functioning in this patient population.

A pilot program of sailing lessons for patients with rare skeletal diseases will be conducted. Participants will undergo assessments of physical, cognitive, and social skills before and after the intervention.

This study will be the first to explore the use of sailing-based AT for this patient population. The findings will inform the development of larger-scale studies and contribute to the optimization of rehabilitation programs for this patient population.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Health-related Quality of Life

    EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D) instrument offers valuable information about patient-reported health status. The questionnaire consists of two sections-descriptive system and visual analog scale (VAS)-and yields two scores: Index Value (IV), and overall health status (VAS). In the descriptive system section, patients report their level of problems in five dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression-and rate their health on a 5-level options for adults, and 3-level for adolescents and children. Based on the pattern of their responses, patients generate a health profile ranging from best health (11111 = highest level) to worst health (55555 = lowest level). Each health profile is transformed into an IV, that varies from 0 (absence of life/death) to 1 (perfect health). The VAS measures the patients' overall health status, with a score ranging from 0 ("The worst health you can imagine") to 100 ("The best health you can imagine").

In the descriptive system section, patients report their level of problems in five dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression-and rate their health on a 5-level options for adults, and 3-level for adolescents and children. Based on the pattern of their responses, patients generate a health profile ranging from best health (11111 = highest level) to worst health (55555 = lowest level). Each health profile is transformed into an IV, that varies from 0 (absence of life/death) to 1 (perfect health). The VAS measures the patients' overall health status, with a score ranging from 0 ("The worst health you can imagine") to 100 ("The best health you can imagine").

SecondaryKinesiophobia

The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) is a validated self-report questionnaire designed to assess the fear of movement or (re)injury in individuals experiencing pain or musculoskeletal disorders. The TSK consists of 13 items (Italian validated version), each rated on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 ("Strongly Disagree") to 4 ("Strongly Agree"). The scores are summed to yield a total score ranging from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater levels of kinesiophobia. The TSK includes two subscales: 1.Activity Avoidance, with a score ranging from 6 to 24; 2.Harm Beliefs, with a score ranging from 7 to 28. Higher scores on both the Activity Avoidance and Harm Beliefs subscales indicate greater levels of kinesiophobia, reflecting increased fear of movement due to injury concerns (Activity Avoidance subscale) or harmful beliefs about physical activity (Harm Beliefs subscale).

SecondaryWell-being and Mental Health

Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess psychological distress and monitor treatment response. It consists of 34 items evaluating emotional state and perceived well-being over the past week, rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 ("Not at all") to 4 ("Most or all of the time"). The total score is calculated as the mean of all item scores and can be reported in two ways: 1.Raw score: The mean of all item scores (range: 0-4). 2.Standardized score: Obtained by multiplying the raw score by 10, yielding a scale from 0 to 40. The data presented in the results refer to the raw score. Score Interpretation: 0.00-0.99: No clinical distress or minimal risk. 1.00-1.99: Mild distress, potentially significant. 2.00-2.99: Moderate distress, generally indicative of the need for intervention. 3.00-4.00: Severe distress, highly indicative of the need for immediate clinical intervention.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2024 to primary completion in Sep 2024, 3 months.

Results were first posted in Mar 2025, 6 months after primary completion.

Of 17 interventional studies with no phase under Osteogenesis Imperfecta, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 35. This study's 3 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 21, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
