Therapy is an important component in the care of the individuals who have osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). There are different areas of emphasis based on where the services are rendered. This chapter reviews our approach to therapy in each environment, functional measures related to OI, orthotics, and assistive devices for enhanced mobility.

TLDR
The coordinated efforts of a multidisciplinary team can support children with OI to fulfill their potential, maximizing function, independence, and well-being.

On the occasion of the 13th International Conference on Osteogenesis imperfecta in August 2017 an expert panel was convened to develop an international consensus paper regarding physical…
Musculoskeletal Functional Outcomes in Children With Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Associations With Disease Severity and Pamidronate Therapy
TLDR
This study indicates that children with mild forms of OI can be differentiated from their more severe counterparts by their ability to participate in high-level play activities, and shows that patients with “severe” OI show a significant improvement in their able to participateIn high- level play after 1 year of pamidronate.
Prevention of fixed, angular kyphosis in achondroplasia.
TLDR
This study demonstrates the efficacy of early prohibition of unsupported sitting and the secondary risks of angular kyphosis, previously estimated to be between 10 and 15% in individuals with achondroplasia, can be completely eliminated.
Quality of life in osteogenesis imperfecta: A mixed‐methods systematic review
TLDR
QoL in the adult population should not be dismissed in order to offer proper client‐centered interventions throughout the lifespan, and researchers must agree on a definition of QoL as it relates to OI and use validated measures appropriate for evaluating QeL in OI.

TLDR
Anatomic anomalies of the vertebral column place the patient at risk for spinal stenosis as early as the first decade and especially during adulthood.
Muscle Strength, Joint Range of Motion, and Gait in Children and Adolescents With Osteogenesis Imperfecta
TLDR
Moderate and severe forms of OI are associated with greater functional limitation, influenced by fracture history, which negatively affects the acquisition and level of ambulation.

10-m Shuttle Ride Test in Youth With Osteogenesis Imperfecta Who Use Wheelchairs: Feasibility, Reproducibility, and Physiological Responses
TLDR
The SRiT appears to be a feasible, safe, and reproducible maximal field test in youth with OI using wheelchairs at least for long distances, and might be useful to provide an indication of physical fitness and to assess the efficacy of interventions on physical fitness.
