Paralympic sport provides sporting opportunities for athletes with disabilities, with the Paralympic Games as the main event. In a few days the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, begin. The Games are expected to be one of the largest in history and athletes with physical, visual or intellectual impairments will accomplish sporting excellence that in many ways is similar to elite performances in able-bodied athletes.

参与运动非常重要，尤其是对于残疾人，因为与非残疾人相比，他们的身体健康通常较低。然而，参与运动与可能对个人产生长期后果的伤害和疾病的风险有关。

In our clinical work with athletes we often see them being injured, ill or overloaded during training or competition. Being injured when you already have an existing impairment, sometimes even acquired from sports, can be particularly challenging for the athletes. They may already have complex pre-existing medical conditions, such as neurodegenerative disorders, spinal cord injury, amputations, vision loss and intellectual impairments, and a sports-related injury or illness may further influence them in their sports performance as well as in their daily life.

Being injured when you already have an existing impairment…can be particularly challenging for the athletes.

随着时间的推移，运动员监测已在多项运动中实施了健全的运动员，但是在残奥会运动中很少这样的研究。

此外，基于观察性研究的各种体育活动，还有一些预防伤害计划。但是，我们对残奥会运动中与运动有关的伤害和疾病的了解有限，并且没有循证预防计划。

最近，我们发布了一个研究方案BMC运动科学，医学和康复where we present an upcoming prospective longitudinal study specifically tailored to Paralympic sport. To capture all sports-related injuries and illnesses in Paralympic sport and to obtain valid data, we believe there is a need for a self-report injury/illness surveillance system specifically tailored to Paralympic athletes with different impairments.

在该项目中，将要求运动员每周报告与运动有关的伤害和疾病，疼痛，焦虑，训练负荷和暴露。这是残奥会运动员本人长期报告的伤害和疾病的第一个研究。

该项目 - 残奥会运动研究（SRIIPS）中与运动有关的伤害和疾病 - 预计将对残奥会运动中与运动有关的伤害和疾病产生独特的了解。从长远来看，这将有助于鉴定和开发适合残奥运动的特定循证伤害/疾病预防策略。

该项目是通过与运动员，教练和利益相关者直接对话进行的，并且是隆德大学和瑞典林克平大学科学家之间的合作努力。最终，这项研究的临床意义是允许安全的运动参与并最大程度地提高残奥会运动的运动表现。因此，我们希望该项目对各级残奥会运动员以及残奥会运动有意义。
