The main purpose of this study was to determine sexuality of disabled athletes depending on the form of locomotion. The study included 170 disabled athletes, aged between 18 and 45. The entire population was divided into 3 research groups depending on the form of locomotion: moving on wheelchairs (n=52), on crutches (n=29) and unaided (n=89). The research tool was a questionnaire voluntarily and anonymously completed by the respondents of the research groups. The questionnaire was composed of a general part concerning the socio-demographic conditions, medical history, health problems, a part dedicated to physical disability as well as the Polish version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) evaluating sexual life. STATISTICA 10.0 for Windows was used in the statistical analysis. Subjects moving on crutches were significantly older than ones moving on wheelchairs and unaided (34.41 ±11.00 vs. 30.49 ±10.44 and 27.99 ±10.51 years, respectively) (p=0.018). Clinically significant erectile dysfunctions were most often diagnosed in athletes moving on wheelchairs (70.27%), followed by athletes moving on crutches and moving unaided (60% and 35.42%, respectively; p=0.048). Clinical sexual dysfunctions were diagnosed on a similar level among all female athletes. It was concluded that the form of locomotion may determine sexuality of disabled men. Males on wheelchair revealed the worst sexual functioning. Female athletes moving on wheelchairs, on crutches and moving unaided were comparable in the aspect of their sexual life.
本研究的主要目的是根据运动方式确定残疾运动员的性状况。该研究纳入了170名年龄在18至45岁之间的残疾运动员。根据运动方式，整个人口被分为3个研究组：使用轮椅移动的（n = 52）、使用拐杖移动的（n = 29）和无需辅助移动的（n = 89）。研究工具是一份由研究组的受访者自愿且匿名填写的问卷。问卷由一个关于社会人口状况、病史、健康问题的一般部分、一个专门针对身体残疾的部分以及评估性生活的波兰版国际勃起功能指数（IIEF）和女性性功能指数（FSFI）组成。统计分析使用了适用于Windows的STATISTICA 10.0。使用拐杖移动的受试者明显比使用轮椅移动的和无需辅助移动的受试者年龄更大（分别为34.41±11.00岁、30.49±10.44岁和27.99±10.51岁）（p = 0.018）。临床上显著的勃起功能障碍最常出现在使用轮椅移动的运动员中（70.27%），其次是使用拐杖移动的运动员和无需辅助移动的运动员（分别为60%和35.42%；p = 0.048）。所有女性运动员中临床性功能障碍的诊断水平相似。得出的结论是，运动方式可能决定残疾男性的性状况。使用轮椅的男性性功能最差。使用轮椅移动的、使用拐杖移动的和无需辅助移动的女性运动员在性生活方面相当。
