About the Thematic Issue on Paralympic Sport Medicine

Welcome to this Thematic Issue of the CJSM, “Paralympic Sport Medicine – Current Evidence in Winter Sport”. It is a pleasure to feature a diversity of research that relates to the winter Paralympic athlete following the excitement of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games. The papers include original research and scientific overviews across a diversity of research fields with a focus on the Paralympic athlete. There are research contributions encompassing perspectives from epidemiology, biomechanics, physiology, sport medicine, psychology, and ethics.

The Editors’ Picks for this Thematic Issue of CJSM feature a unique contribution from Andrei Krassioukov, a top clinician scientist from the University of British Columbia in the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation who has an interest in spinal cord injuries. Dr. Krassioukov presents a scientific overview of the complex issues associated with spinal cord injury in sport, with a specific focus on autonomic dysreflexia.  Additional Editors’ Picks include a contribution from Marco Bernardi and colleagues who provide a physiological perspective in examining physical fitness in winter Paralympic athletes competing in a sitting posture, identifying components relevant for successful performance. Based on data collected during the sledge hockey competition at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games, Bartosz Molik and colleagues examine disability classification, anthropometric variables, and game efficiency measures. Peter Van de Vliet presents an overview of the antidoping program of the Paralympic Movement to inform intervention programs, including educational and awareness initiatives. Nick Webborn and colleagues present a descriptive epidemiological study examining the injury experience at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games.

We hope you will enjoy this Thematic Issue as we all prepare for the London 2012 Summer Paralympic Games.
