Abstract

Spinal cord injuries are injuries that cause motor and sensory losses and lead to disability. In individuals with spinal cord injuries, various complications occur due to the injuries. Individuals with spinal cord injuries face some difficulties in participating in exercise and sports activities. These individuals cannot be very physically active. Physical inactivity causes some chronic diseases and therefore the quality of life of these individuals decreases. Exercises and sports activities are necessary to prevent some complications, combat chronic diseases and improve the quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injuries. The aim of the present study is to provide information about spinal cord injuries, exercise and sports for individuals with spinal cord injuries, and the roles of exercise and sports in chronic diseases seen in individuals with spinal cord injuries. The present study may contribute to increasing the exercise and sports activities of people with spinal cord injuries.

Özet

Spinal kord yaralanmaları, motor ve duyu kayıplarına neden olan, engelliliğe yol açan yaralanmalardır. Spinal kord yaralanması olan bireylerde, yaralanmalara bağlı olarak çeşitli komplikasyonlar oluşmaktadır. Spinal kord yaralanması olan bireyler egzersiz ve sportif faaliyetlere katılmak için bazı zorluklarla karşılaşmaktadırlar. Bu bireyler fiziksel olarak çok aktif olamamaktadırlar. Fiziksel hareketsizlik bazı kronik hastalıklara zemin oluşturmakta ve dolayısıyla bu bireylerin yaşam kalitesi düşmektedir. Egzersizler ve sportif faaliyetler, spinal kord yaralanması olan bireyler için bazı komplikasyonları önlemek, kronik hastalıklarla mücadele etmek ve yaşam kalitesini artırmak için gereklidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı spinal kord yaralanmaları, spinal kord yaralanması olan bireyler için egzersiz ve spor, spinal kord yaralanmalı bireylerde görülen kronik hastalıklarda egzersiz ve sporun rolleri hakkında bilgi vermektir. Bu çalışma, spinal kord yaralanması yaşayan insanların egzersiz ve spor yapmalarının artması kapsamında katkı sunabilir.
