- Abstract
This study aims to analyze the prevalence of trauma-orthopedic injuries and associated factors in athletes enrolled in the Federação Paranaense de Basquete em Cadeira de Rodas in 2017. Fifty-eight Wheelchair Basketball (WB) athletes participated in the research with an average of age of 35.75 (±11.21) years. The frequency and distribution of trauma and orthopedic injuries occurred in the last 12 months were verified through a questionnaire adapted from the instrument of the Laboratório de Prevenção e Reabilitação de Lesões Esportivas and the instrument of the National Injury Recording System. The strength and direction of the association between the presence of injuries and associated factors were analyzed using the Poisson regression test. All statistical treatment was performed using the SPSS program, version 15.0 for Windows. Significant associations were found between the presence of injuries and the time of WB practice, use of a wheelchair, parallel training and use of a crutch or cane. It was concluded that public policies are needed to encourage interdisciplinary projects in order to ensure comprehensive care for people with disabilities, considering that the promotion of physical health is one of the guidelines of the National Health Policy for People with Disabilities.
