• Rare skeletal disorders are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group classified within the Orphanet nosology, encompassing skeletal dysplasias, dysostoses, rare connective tissue disorders, and rare metabolic bone diseases. — Blended adapted sailing therapy with telerehabilitation for rare skeletal disorders: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled feasibility trial in Italy (PaS2-EXTEND)
• RSDs cause lifelong structural deformities, skeletal fragility, progressive mobility impairments, chronic pain, and significant psychosocial consequences. — Blended adapted sailing therapy with telerehabilitation for rare skeletal disorders: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled feasibility trial in Italy (PaS2-EXTEND)
• Evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for RSDs remain critically underdeveloped, particularly during the transitional period from paediatric to adult care. — Blended adapted sailing therapy with telerehabilitation for rare skeletal disorders: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled feasibility trial in Italy (PaS2-EXTEND)
• Conventional outpatient physiotherapy fails the RSD population due to geographic barriers, fragmented care pathways, limited clinician expertise, insufficient psychosocial integration, and absence of socially engaging motor learning environments. — Blended adapted sailing therapy with telerehabilitation for rare skeletal disorders: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled feasibility trial in Italy (PaS2-EXTEND)
• Individuals with RSDs frequently develop kinesiophobia rooted in skeletal fragility and fracture history, leading to activity avoidance that paradoxically accelerates functional decline. — Blended adapted sailing therapy with telerehabilitation for rare skeletal disorders: protocol for a pilot randomised controlled feasibility trial in Italy (PaS2-EXTEND)
