Abstract:
Adaptive sports medicine is an area of medical practice that comprises knowledge in the fundamentals of both Sports Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. There are elements that are specific to the diagnoses of adaptive athletes, which impact engagement and participation in physical activity and sports. A review of current literature was performed to explore and discuss the prevalence and efficacy of strategies incorporating adaptive sports and adaptive sports medicine in the curricula across a variety of professional disciplines.
