Why Soldier On?
Following World War II, the traditional methods of rehabilitation
were no longer sufficient for the medical and psychological needs of
injured soldiers. In 1944, upon the request of the British Government, Dr.
Ludwig Guttmann, a neurologist and brain surgeon from Germany, created a
Centre for spinal injuries at the Stoke Mandeville hospital in Great
Britain. It was at this hospital where Guttmann introduced sport as a
form of recreation and aid to rehabilitation. Over time, sport for
persons with a disability became increasingly popular giving birth to the
Paralympic Games in 1960. Soldier On brings us back to the roots of our
existence.
The program is aimed to introduce Canadian Forces with a physical
disability to the exciting world of Paralympic sport. It is uniquely
designed to inspire soldiers to look beyond their injury, to Soldier On
towards living life to its fullest. It provides injured soldiers with,
* an opportunity to socialize, share common interests, make new
friends, and open doors to other opportunities in life;
easier transition to reintegration in their community and
independency;
* access to a network of peers with a disability; and
* a vehicle to continue to be physically active for life.
The Canadian Paralympic Committee is working closely with the
Department of National Defence, and the two parties organized the inaugural
Soldier On Paralympic Sport Summit at Carleton University in Ottawa,
Ontario, from May 25th to 27th, 2007. This two-day event allowed about a
dozen injured soldiers to try some Paralympic sports, such as athletics,
sitting volleyball, sledge hockey, table tennis, wheelchair basketball
and many others. (photos here in thumbnails)

Pourquoi ce programme?
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les méthodes traditionnelles de
réadaptation ne permettaient plus de répondre aux besoins médicaux et
psychologiques des soldats blessés. En 1944, à la demande du gouvernement
britannique, le docteur Ludwig Guttmann, neurologue et neurochirurgien
d' origine allemande, a créé un Centre pour les victimes de
traumatisme médullaire à l' Hôpital Stoke Mandeville, en Grande-Bretagne. C'
est là que Guttmann a commencé à utiliser le sport à des fins de
récréation et de réadaptation. Avec le temps, le sport pour personnes
ayant un handicap est devenu de plus en plus populaire, et ce processus a
abouti à la création des Jeux paralympiques en 1960. Soldat en mouvement
nous ramène à nos racines en quelque sorte.
Ce programme vise à sensibiliser les membres des Forces canadiennes
qui ont un handicap au merveilleux monde du sport paralympique. Il est
conçu précisément pour inciter les soldats à considérer leur blessure
comme chose du passé, et à endosser les objectifs de Soldat en mouvement
afin de vivre pleinement leur vie. Ce programme offre aux soldats
blessés :
* la possibilité de nouer des liens avec d> '> autres, d> '> échanger
sur des sujets d' intérêt commun, de se faire des amis et de se
donner de nouvelles perspectives dans la vie;
* la possibilité d ' opérer une transition en douceur, de
réintégrer leur place dans la collectivité et de retrouver leur autonomie;
* l ' accès à un réseau de pairs ayant un handicap;
* un moyen de continuer d ' être actifs sur le plan physique pour
la vie.
Le Comité paralympique canadien travaille en étroite collaboration
avec le ministère de la Défense nationale et a organisé le premier sommet
Soldat en mouvement à l' Université Carleton, à Ottawa (Ontario),
du 25 au 27 mai 2007. Le sommet de deux jours a permis à une dizaine de
soldats blessés à faire l ' essai de sports paralympiques tels que l ' athlétisme, le basketball en fauteuil roulant, le hockey sur luge, le tennis de table le volleyball assis et bien d 'autres.
