Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim is to study the effects of an individualised and health-enhancing intervention in physically inactive people with autism, intellectual and physical disabilities. Also, the cost-effectiveness of PAP will be studied.
60 physically inactive children, aged 8- 17 years, and 20 adults, with autism, intellectual or physical disability will be included. The participants are recruited by their clinical physiotherapists, who also will be carrying out the PAP-intervention. The self-selected physical activity/activities may either be a physical activity organized by a club and/or an everyday activity such as walking a dog or riding a bicycle to school. Each participant fills in an activity logbook. Motivational interviewing will be used to support the participants. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure can be used to identify what activities the participants are motivated to do, and to detect changes in the participants' perception of their performance of the activity. Quality of life will be monitored. Physical activity will be measured through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and a movement monitor (accelerometer). Study specific questionnaires will be filled in regarding costs and background information. Data on health care use of the participants will retrospectively be collected and studied using the health care database in Region Skåne. Data will be collected at 3 months prior to the intervention, just before the intervention starts, when the intervention is finished, and at 6, 12 and 24 months after the intervention. The study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Physical inactivity is an increasing problem in the general population in society. However, in people with disabilities, inactivity is even more frequently reported. Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is a well-established method to enhance physical activity in adults in primary care. The prescribed physical activity should lead to moderate increase of the pulse, such as walking, cycling, swimming, or gardening, and should be performed over a longer period in order to achieve a change towards a more active lifestyle. The activity may be prescribed by a physiotherapist, physician, nurse, or other health professional. In children with cerebral palsy, PAP has shown to be feasible to increase participation in physical activity and to reduce sedentary behaviour, and the habilitation services in the Region of Skåne have decided to offer PAP as an activity-enhancing intervention to all children and youth with disabilities. It is of great importance to study these interventions when applied on a broader group of patients (diagnoses and ages) than previously studied.
Aim:
The aim is to study feasibility as well as health effects of an individualised and health-enhancing intervention in physically inactive people with autism, intellectual or physical disabilities in the Department of Habilitation in the Region of Skåne. Also, cost-effectiveness of the intervention PAP will be studied using health-economic analysis methods.
Material:
In total 60 children, aged 8- 17 years; 20 physically inactive children in each group with autism, intellectual and physical disability will be included. Also, 20 physically inactive adults, aged 18 years and older, with any of the disabilities mentioned above, will be recruited for this intervention study.
Method:
Participants are recruited to this study by their clinical physiotherapists, who also will be carrying out the intervention with their patient in ordinary praxis. The selected activity should be adapted to the individual's interests, functional limitations and resources, and may either be a physical activity organized by a club and/or an everyday activity such as walking a dog or riding a bicycle to school. Each participant should report the dates and length of all activities during the 12 weeks that the study will last in an activity logbook.
Measures:
* Motivational interviewing will be used to support the health enhancing change in lifestyle that PAP is expected to contribute to.
* The participants will be questioned about the amount of physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and will be using an accelerometer to objectively measure the activity during a full week (7 days).
* The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) can be used to identify what activities the participants are motivated to do, and to detect changes in the participants perception of his/her performance of the activity.
* The Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) is used for goal setting. GAS is an individualized outcome measure involving goal selection and goal scaling that is standardized in order to calculate the extent to which a patient's goals are met.
* The participants' perception of health-related quality of life will be monitored using the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire, Youth Version (EQ-5D-Y) or EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire, five-level version for adults (EQ-5D-5L).
* To analyze the costs of the intervention, participants themselves and/or parents will be asked to report level of education, occupation, income, family constitution as well as direct or indirect costs for the selected activity. Also, the physiotherapists will report the amount of hours spent to prepare and carry out the activity as well as evaluate/measure the outcome of the intervention for each participant.
The questionnaires directed to participants and/or parents on background information, health-related quality of life, reports of costs associated with the activity and evaluation will be distributed digitally via e-mail to a secure data capturing system using a unique code for each participant. For COPM, accelerometer and IPAQ data, the physiotherapist will report the results digitally to the secure data capturing system for his/her patient using the unique code for each participant.
The cost- effectiveness will be studied by identifying, measuring, evaluating, and comparing the costs and effects for different interventions. In this project, PAP in people with different disabilities will be compared to a three- month period prior to the PAP intervention started, the participants are their own controls. This means that the comparison option is standard care, which would be the care the participant would have had if/when the intervention was not introduced/started.
Data on health care use of the participants will retrospectively be collected and studied using the health care database in Region Skåne.
Data will be collected at 3 months prior to the intervention, just before the intervention starts, when the intervention is finished, and at 6, 12 and 24 months after the intervention.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Children and adolescents with physical disabilities
20 children and adolescents with physical disabilities will participate in physical activity on prescription (PAP). They will be their own controls and will be compared with the other groups. Therefore, there is a baseline 1 and a baseline 2, with 3 months inbetween. After baseline 2, each participant will perform their PAP during 3 months. Assessments to evaluate the results will be performed directly after the 3 months PAP period, and after 6, 12 and 24 months.
