The problem of disabled people is a social problem. The Constitution of China clearly stipulates that "the state and society help to arrange the work, life and education of blind, deaf, dumb and other disabled citizens". In the Outline of the National Fitness Program, it is proposed to carry out extensive physical fitness activities for the disabled to improve their physical fitness and ability to participate in social activities on an equal footing. Disabled people enjoy all the rights as a person, including the right to enjoy sports, just like normal people. Physical education is an effective means of rehabilitation and exercise for the disabled. With the development of social civilization, disabled sports will continue to develop and take on a new look. Disabled people refer to people with physical disabilities or mental disorders, including physical disabilities, sensory disabilities and mental disabilities, as well as compound disabilities. Mental retardation belongs to the category of mental disability, also known as mental retardation. According to the sampling survey of disabled people in Beijing in 1987, 45 out of every 1000 people are disabled. According to this calculation, China has a population of 50 million, which is quite huge. How to promote the physical and mental health of the disabled by sports means is a problem that people should pay full attention to in the development of socialist sports in China.

Amputees can participate in athletics, swimming, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, dancing and other sports activities. Wheelchair is the main way for amputees of lower limbs to move. They can take part in physical exercises and sports competitions. Learn to drive a wheelchair, which should be closely integrated with the body. Wheelchairs generally drive forward and brake by hand. Just learn to drive, change direction, turn around, go up and down, and stop. Wheelchairs should be driven on different floors. The rear wheel of the wheelchair for the elderly is larger, so that when the wheelchair falls backwards, the armrest can be supported on the ground and the occupant on it will not fall. Amputees should learn to sit in wheelchairs by themselves. Sit 10 minutes or so and you can "stand" with your hands for a while. On the one hand, it can prevent bedsores, on the other hand, it can promote blood circulation and improve the balance ability of the body. When starting in a wheelchair, the wheels should be straight, not horizontal, otherwise you should reverse. Push the wheel width at the beginning, and then push the small wheel when moving for 3~5 meters; The handwheel should be at the level of the hip joint. Use your hands evenly, not suddenly; When you start, push your hands in front of your body, or your stomach will tilt up. When the wheelchair turns, the strength of the outer hand is greater and the body leans inward. Don't hold the wheel too tightly. A better way is to push one by one. You can take part in basketball, table tennis, dancing and track and field activities in a wheelchair.
