Abstract
Wheelchair sports medicine involves the assessment of recreational and competitive sport capacities of physically disabled individuals, medical classification to allow fair competition among athletes with various types and degrees of disability, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of athletic injuries, and research into the biomechanics and physiology of wheelchair athletics. Involvement in wheelchair sports medicine activities increases professional awareness and provides a valuable referral source for organized sports activities.
