Summary
This pilot study tested whether a 5-day sailing therapy program followed by 3 months of home-based telerehabilitation is safe and feasible for young people aged 12–30 with rare skeletal disorders. 24 participants were randomly assigned to either the sailing-plus-rehab group or a rehab-only group. The study measured adherence, safety, motor function, and quality of life to see if this unique approach could improve both physical and emotional health.
