Abstract
Abstract: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disability face several barriers to participation in sports and physical activity. Fortunately, there are opportunities for athletes with intellectual and developmental disability to participate in sport. Special Olympics continues to be the most prominent opportunity. Unfortunately, many physicians and other health care providers may feel underprepared to evaluate and treat athletes with intellectual and developmental disability. While national and international events often have a large number of resources available, access to medical care for athletes at local, regional, and state events can be variable. This paper will review medical coverage for state and regional Special Olympics events, including preevent preparation, preparticipation examination, common medical conditions among athletes with intellectual and developmental disability, and common injuries evaluated at local and state events.
期刊介绍:
As an official clinical journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), Current Sports Medicine Reports is unique in its focus entirely on the clinical aspects of sports medicine. This peer-reviewed journal harnesses the tremendous scientific and clinical resources of ACSM to develop articles reviewing recent and important advances in the field that have clinical relevance. The journal’s goal is to translate the latest research and advances in the field into information physicians can use in caring for their patients.
To accomplish this goal, the journal divides the broad field of sports medicine into 12 sections, each headed by a physician editor with extensive practical experience in that area. The current sections include:
Head, Neck, and Spine -
General Medical Conditions -
Chest and Abdominal Conditions -
Environmental Conditions -
Sideline and Event Management -
Training, Prevention, and Rehabilitation -
Exercise is Medicine-
Nutrition & Ergogenic Aids -
Extremity and Joint Conditions -
Sport-specific Illness and Injury -
Competitive Sports -
Special Populations
