Abstract

Purpose: The primary aim was to describe sports participation of Dutch children and adolescents with lower limb deficiencies (LLD). The secondary aim was to explore perceived limitations concerning sports participation.

Methods: A total of 103 children and adolescents with LLD, aged 8-18 years (mean 11.7 years), were asked about their sports participation using a study-specific self-report questionnaire.

Results: Children and adolescents with LLD frequently (78%) participated in sports activities, and most of them (68%) participated in the sport of their preference. Just over half of all children (52%) perceived an inability to participate in specific sports. Physical performance (running) and endurance were mentioned as the most limiting factors in participating in certain sports.

Conclusion: Children and adolescents with LLD in the Netherlands participate in a variety of sports. Despite dependency on lower limb prostheses in most cases, children and adolescents with LLD have a high potentiality of participating in sports.

荷兰下肢缺陷儿童的运动参与情况。

目的:主要目的是描述患有下肢缺陷(LLD)的荷兰儿童和青少年的体育参与情况。第二个目的是探讨人们对体育参与的认知限制。方法:采用研究专用的自我报告问卷，对103名年龄在8-18岁(平均11.7岁)的LLD儿童和青少年进行体育参与调查。结果:LLD儿童青少年经常(78%)参加体育活动，绝大多数(68%)参加自己喜欢的运动。超过一半的儿童(52%)认为无法参加特定的体育运动。体能表现(跑步)和耐力被认为是参加某些运动的最大限制因素。结论:荷兰患有LLD的儿童和青少年参加各种体育运动。尽管在大多数情况下依赖下肢假体，患有LLD的儿童和青少年有很高的参与体育运动的潜力。
