Adapted physical activity reference for people with epilepsy: first french guidelines

Résumé

Purpose: Even though physical activity has shown many benefits on epilepsy and can be prescribed by physicians, currently there is no promoted recommendations in France. In order to encourage this practice among people with epilepsy, the La Teppe Institute coordinated the drafting of a collective expertise on physical activity adapted to this pathology. Methods: Following a national call for participation, 34 contributors working in the field of epilepsy from different disciplines [neurology, adapted physical activities, high-level sport, sociology, philosophy, anthropology and Literature] throughout France agreed to take part in this project. These different areas of expertise give to this work an interdisciplinary perspective. Results: This collective expertise will be published in June 2022. The guidelines are divided into three parts [neurology, adapted physical activity and social sciences] which allow to identify the benefits of physical activity on epilepsy, the safety supervision techniques for professionals and the processes of motivation and commitment for practitioners. Conclusion: This work should help professionals and people with epilepsy to better understand the role of physical activity on this disease and how practice it safely and securely. The distribution and application of these guidelines especially to the health facilities specialized in epilepsy remain currently our main challenge
