Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Adaptive Sports Research
  • Orthopedic Sports Science

Background:

  • The safety and benefits of adaptive sports participation are increasingly recognized.
  • Wrestling presents unique physical demands and potential risks for athletes with limb deficiencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and positive impact of wrestling for individuals with limb deficiencies.
  • To assess the quality of life, team acceptance, and health outcomes in limb-deficient wrestlers.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study utilizing an opportunity sample of limb-deficient wrestlers (aged 5+ years, 1+ year experience).
  • Participants completed questionnaires on health, satisfaction, and achievements.
  • Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Sixteen male wrestlers reported various limb deficiencies (below/above knee, below elbow); congenital and acquired.
  • Two NCAA championships and seven collegiate competitors identified.
  • All participants reported a positive impact on quality of life; 87% experienced team acceptance.
  • 50% reported wrestling-related residual limb complications, with no statistically significant association to prior complications or skin breakdown.

Conclusions:

  • Wrestling appears to be a safe and beneficial sport for limb-deficient individuals.
  • The sport promotes competitive equality and positively influences health and quality of life.
  • Continued monitoring of residual limb complications in this population is recommended.
