Brief Summary

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

This study is a prospective interventional study. It will be conducted at a single center with participants who have neuromotor impairments. The primary objective is to assess and measure the clinical and psychosocial effects of a season of power wheelchair soccer among its participants presenting with severe motor impairments due to neuromuscular lesion.

A maximum of twenty participants will be recruited and included in the same group. Data collection will be performed before, during, and after the wheelchair soccer season. The study will span the entire season, starting in November 2023 and ending in June 2024.

Clinical and psychosocial assessments will be conducted every 3 months. Each assessment session will last 2 hours per participant. Before and after the wheelchair soccer season matches, we will evaluate parameters related to the physical load of the sport. These evaluations will last 10 minutes per participant.
