Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pain in physically disabled athletes affects the sporting career directly or indirectly through psychological consequences. Numerous studies address psychological skills in able-bodied athletes and in able-bodied athletes they are scarce.This information is part of a research project aimed at finding resources to help athletes in their pain management.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to determine how competitive athletes perceive how pain can affect their sporting careers; what techniques and/or strategies athletes use for pain management and how useful these are; to determine the extent to which athletes with disabilities have received support for pain management and to what extent they have found it useful; and to determine the difficulties they often face in managing their pain.The aim of this questionnaire is to find out how pain, resulting from injury, can affect the sporting careers of competitive athletes with physical disabilities and what techniques they use to manage it.
