    Author: Sherrill C, Silliman L, Gench B, Hinson M.
    Journal: Paraplegia; 1990 May; 28(4):252-60. PubMed ID: 2146584.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine the self-actualisation of male and female elite wheelchair athletes in comparison to the general population and to able-bodied athletes. All subjects completed the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI), and statistically significant differences were identified. In general, wheelchair athletes were similar to the general population. Male wheelchair athletes were significantly more self-actualised than able-bodied athletes, but female wheelchair athletes were self-actualised to the same extent as able-bodied athletes.
