Lion's research centers on the integration of physical activity in the disease trajectory of epilepsy, examining how adapted physical activity can be maintained in a secure environment to improve quality of life. His doctoral thesis, conducted under the supervision of Claire Perrin and Damien Issanchou, explores the articulation between health, medico-social, and ordinary sectors to facilitate social participation of patients at the La Teppe Medical Establishment. This work is part of the IDAPTE project, which studies pre-existing adapted physical activity interventions and their role in care pathways.
