Osteogenesis Imperfecta treatment is directed toward preventing or controlling the symptoms, maximizing independent mobility, and developing optimal bone mass and muscle strength. Muscle strength and bone mass can be increased through therapy (though patients can't overcome bone weakness). If properly tailored to an individual's symptoms and age, exercise can improve mobility and help prevent future fractures.

Physical therapy should begin as soon as it is known that an infant has muscle weakness or motor skill delay when compared with same-aged peers for post broken bone treatment to strengthen muscles in the fractured area.

The long term goal for children with brittle bones is independence in all life functions (self-care, locomotion, recreation, social interaction, and education). Occupational therapy can help with fine motor skills and adaptive equipment for daily living.

Adults with this disability also benefit from safe exercise to maintain bone and muscle mass. Swimming and water therapy are the best exercises for individuals with fragile bones since it offers exertion without putting much stress on the limbs and it allows independent movement with little risk of fracture to complete any method of broken bone treatment so the individual can regain their muscles and regain their independence.

Maintaining a healthy weight can also cut down on bone stress.

Few points to consider for Physical Therapy ...

• Therapy should be directed toward improving joint mobility and developing muscle strength.

• Overall, emphasize the achievement of functional ability.

• Independence should be the main objective of therapy.
