Abstract

116 individuals with spinal cord injury were surveyed to investigate the relationship between prelesion sports participation and involvement in wheelchair sports following injury. While 89 reported they had been involved in sport prior to their injury, only 38 (43%) of these were involved since injury. 27 respondents said that they had not participated in sport preinjury; however, 13 (48%) of these reported that they had become involved since injury. Analysis by chi 2 showed that, for this sample at least, the tendency for an individual with spinal cord injury to be involved in wheelchair sports was not related to preinjury history of sports involvement.
