This reflex is caused by painful stimuli to the lower part of the body, particularly distension or irritation of the urinary bladder. <br /> <br /> The symptoms of dysreflexia are a rapid rise in blood pressure, headache, sweating, skin blotchiness and gooseflesh. In serious cases, confusion, cerebral haemorrhage and even death can occur. <br /> <br /> This reflex may happen spontaneously or may be deliberately caused (“Boosting”). As this is a health hazard, the IPC forbids athletes to compete in a hazardous dysreflexic state.<br /> <br /> Details are outlined in the <a href="/sites/default/files/2024-04/Position%20Statement%20on%20Autonomic%20Dysreflexia%20and%20Boosting.pdf" target="_blank">Position Statement on Autonomic Dysreflexia and Boosting</a>.</p> <p class="field--name-field-story-body"><a href="/sites/default/files/2024-04/IPC%20Policy%20on%20Scientific%20and%20Medical%20Equipment%20at%20Paralympic%20Games_2019.pdf" target="_blank"><span class="node_subtitle">Medical Equipment at Venues</span></a></p> <p class="field--name-field-story-body"> </p> <h2 class="title2"><strong>HOW TO BEAT THE HEAT</strong></h2> <p><span class="node_subtitle">Competing in hot and or humid weather conditions presents a variety of concerns, from adverse effects on performance to making athletes vulnerable to such illnesses as heat cramp, heat exhaustion and heat stroke Athletes with certain impairments have additional risk factors too but everyone needs to take steps to prepare for the heat and humidity and to reduce its adverse effects. </span></p> <p class="field--name-field-story-body"><span class="node_subtitle">Paris 2024<br /> During the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games heat threatens to be an issue that can create a challenging environment for competition from the heat and humidity perspective. <br /> The IPC with support from its Medical Committee and some leading experts have prepared detailed but simple advice sheets to help you.
