Physical disabilities and sports ~Standing~
People with physical disabilities who can stand up include people with amputations or functional impairments in their upper or lower limbs, people who have difficulty maintaining sitting or standing posture, and people with cerebral palsy.
Some people use canes or prosthetic legs to get around, while others are able to walk on their own.They may also use prosthetic hands.
Communication considerations and points
The location and severity of the disability vary, so it may be difficult to move or perform physical activities.Depending on the location and severity of the disability, assistance may not be necessary, so please call to confirm whether assistance is required.
If you need help moving, come with me.
People with lower limb disabilities may not be able to proceed by themselves if there are steps, stairs, or manual doors.Additionally, some people walk unsteadily and are prone to falls.As a result, you may need assistance opening and closing doors or climbing steps.
If the walkway is wet, such as on a rainy day, your cane or prosthetic leg may slip and fall, so you need to be especially careful.
When climbing stairs, assist from behind diagonally.
When going down the stairs, stand diagonally in front of you one step below.
If you are having trouble filling out the letters, ask for ghostwriting.
As a result of cerebral palsy or cerebrovascular disease, patients may have involuntary movements and may be unable to write due to tremors.Additionally, if a person who was right-handed is only able to use their left hand due to paralysis, it may be difficult for them to write.
If a person with a physical disability is having trouble filling out documents, etc., please call and help them write on their behalf.
If you can't hear it, check it.
Some people with cerebral palsy can't pronounce words well even if they want to talk, and some can only speak slowly.In such cases, instead of pretending to understand, check each word one by one.
Nowadays, we can use smartphones and tablets, so let's use them to communicate.
Sports for people with physical disabilities (standing position)
Typical disabilities for standing limbs include unilateral paralysis, amputation, and joint disorders.■, and functional disorders.We engage in a variety of activities, from sports that are fun to competitive sports that take into account the body part of the person with a disability.
It's not just a sport, it also has a rehabilitation aspect.
*Joint disorders
This is a disorder that often occurs in the knees and hips.Some people have artificial joints through surgery.Check the pain and range of movement of your joints, and make sure you can exercise at a comfortable angle.

To enjoy sports with people with physical disabilities (standing)
It depends on the nature and severity of the disability, but basically you can enjoy what you want to do together by adding some twists and arrangements.
Know the purpose of playing sports
It is very important to know what kind of sport you want to play and for what purpose.By checking the enjoyment and rehabilitation of each sport, we can recommend sports that suit each individual's goals.
Know how your body moves (try to make the best possible movements)
Each person moves differently and has different circumstances under which they can move, so it's best to promote sports within the range of each person's ability.By understanding the body movements of the users themselves (what they can and cannot do) and devising equipment, forms, etc., the things they can do will increase.In addition, in the case of unilateral paralysis, higher brain dysfunction■Therefore, it is important to understand the extent and situation of the disability through observation.
*Higher brain dysfunction
Refers to all types of cognitive impairment caused by brain damage caused by injury (such as traumatic injury) or disease (such as cerebrovascular disease).Patients have aphasia (inability to speak), apraxia (not knowing what to do), agnosia (inability to recognize things), as well as memory and attention disorders, making it difficult to participate in daily life and social life. there is.Although there are some situations where understanding is not necessarily advanced, let's try to understand the extent of the situation so that we can continue our sports activities.
Be careful not to fall (think about safety)
You can participate in various sports, but you need to be careful about falling.Please consider your balance ability and overall physical strength, and make your choice with safety first, such as whether to do it while standing or sitting on a chair, and even moving from a sitting position to a standing position.Also, have a chair ready so you can sit at any time.
Reduce the risk of falls and enjoy sports safely, happily and slowly.
Also, in slippery areas such as pools, you need to be even more careful about falling.
