As part of the care pathway for people suffering from a long-term condition or a chronic disease or presenting risk factors and for people losing their independence, the doctor involved in the care may prescribe physical activity adapted to the patient’s pathology, physical capacities and medical risk.
Adapted physical activities are provided by qualified persons, under conditions laid down by decree. A decree sets the list of chronic diseases, risk factors and situations of loss of autonomy entitling patients to be prescribed adapted physical activities.
