Urinary Symptoms and Sexual Dysfunction in National Level Wheelchair Rugby Male Athletes With Spinal Cord Injury

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of bladder and sexual dysfunction among male wheelchair rugby athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI). The findings revealed that long-term participation in wheelchair rugby is associated with improved bladder function, while shorter experience correlated with lower sexual function scores. Overall, the research highlights the potential rehabilitative benefits of sustained sports engagement for individuals with SCI.
