Background: Children with disabilities face complex, systemic health access barriers rooted in societal, institutional, and structural inequities, requiring urgent global policy attention. Publications on access to health services for this population category have been found to have a significant growth in both quantity and content. The article aims to examine the structure and evolution of scientific literature in analyzing the healthcare system through the lens of inclusive services. Methods: We present the bibliometric profile of the global literature on access to health services for children with disabilities, the publication trends, the structure of research in this field concerning geographical distribution, methodological approaches, and interdisciplinary collaborations, and the core research topics, conceptual clusters, and future research directions in the field. The publications were screened from Web of Science databases, using PRISMA methodology. Finally, 1100 academic publications published between 1984 and 2025, obtained from a total of 432 different sources, the majority of which were peer-reviewed journals, were screened. Results: The calculated annual publication growth rate of 8.37% and the distinct upward trend observed, especially after 2015. The highest level was reached in 2023, with over 90 publications showing that the topic has become a focus of international academic interest. The USA (33.5%), the United Kingdom (15.7%), Australia (9.5%), and Canada (9.5%) stood out in publications, and there were strong collaborative networks among European nations (8.2%). Conclusions: Although high-income countries still appear to play a dominant role in research production, expanding international collaborations and distributing resources more equitably will contribute to the development of more inclusive solutions on a global scale. Temporal trends show an evolution toward diagnostic processes, family-centered approaches, and psychosocial dimensions. The results draw a clear picture of the current research landscape regarding access to health services for pediatric disability populations and identify potential directions for future research.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether physical characteristics and fundamental movement skills were differentiated by relative age effect. Material and Methods: Data were collected from the 60 Intellectual Disabled boys with a mean age of 6,94±0,58 years at Mersin City Center Izem Rehabilitation Center in February, March and April 2018. The age of the participants was calculated in months and divided into three groups as 71-76 months, 77-84 months and 85-93 months. Basic movement skill levels have been determined by the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD). Kruskall Wallis test was used to test differences among groups because data did not show normal distribution. Statistical significance was accepted as P <0.05. Results: The findings of this study showed that there was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of mean body height, body weight and body mass index in the Intellectual Disabled boys who do not participate in physical and sportive activity program. In addition, there is no significant difference between the three groups in both locomotor and object control skills. Participants received low scores in the skills of gallop, two hand strike, catching and kicking while the three groups in the sprint, hop, leap and throw had zero points. All three groups demonstrated only positive performance in kicking. Conclusion: Fundamental movement skills are not differentiated in boys with intellectual disabled due to the relative age effect. It seems that they had only the ability to demonstrate the skill of kicking the ball with the foot.

Cimnastik, yüksek teknik beceri ve fiziksel kapasite gerektiren bir spor dalı olması nedeniyle spor sakatlıklarının en sık gözlendiği branşlardan biridir. Bu kapsamda bu çalışma, cimnastik ve spor sakatlıkları temalarını eş zamanlı olarak ele alan bilimsel yayınların yapısını, eğilimlerini ve tematik yönelimlerini bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Web of Science veri tabanında SCI-Expanded, SSCI, AHCI ve ESCI dizinlerinde taranan yayınlar, PRISMA protokolüne uygun olarak belirlenen dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterleriyle sistematik biçimde filtrelenmiş, analiz kapsamına toplam 198 çalışma alınmıştır. PICOS çerçevesine göre yapılandırılan literatür analizi, yayınların yıllara, ülkelere, dergilere, yazar iş birliklerine, anahtar kelimelere ve tematik ağ yapılarına göre dağılımını kapsamlı biçimde ortaya koymuştur. Bulgular, cimnastik ve spor sakatlıkları alanında akademik yayın sayısının 1984–2025 döneminde yıllık ortalama %5.2 oranında arttığını ve 2010 sonrası dönemde belirgin bir ivme kazandığını göstermektedir. ABD, Çin, İsveç ve Birleşik Krallık en çok yayın üreten ülkeler arasında yer alırken, Avrupa merkezli uluslararası iş birlikleri dikkat çekmektedir. Anahtar kelime ve tema analizleri, literatürün çoğunlukla “sports injuries”, “epidemiology”, “fractures”, “prevention” ve “children” gibi kavramlar etrafında yoğunlaştığını; özellikle kadın ve çocuk cimnastikçilerin sık araştırma konusu olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, çalışmaların zamanla tanı, önleme, performans takibi ve sakatlık sonrası rehabilitasyon gibi çok boyutlu alanlara yöneldiği görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma cimnastik ve spor sakatlıkları alanında bilimsel üretimin tarihsel gelişimini ve tematik dönüşümünü sistematik biçimde ortaya koymakta; gelecek araştırmalar için önleyici stratejilere, yaş ve cinsiyet temelli analizlere ve disiplinler arası iş birliklerine odaklanılmasını önermektedir. Cimnastik branşına özgü sakatlık risklerinin daha derinlemesine anlaşılması hem sporcu sağlığının korunması hem de sürdürülebilir performans yönetimi açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışma, sporcu sağlığı alanında çalışan akademisyenler, klinisyenler ve politika yapıcılar için stratejik bir kaynak sunmaktadır.

Aim: Sports injuries among athletes with disabilities represent a significant public health concern, directly impacting both individual health outcomes and athletic performance. This study examines the structure and evolution of scientific research on sports injuries in disabled populations through comprehensive bibliometric analysis.Methods: Using the Web of Science database, we identified 274 records from publications indexed in SCI-Expanded, SSCI, AHCI, and ESCI databases through predetermined keyword combinations. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria following PRISMA guidelines, 216 articles underwent bibliometric analysis.Results: The analysis revealed that research in this field emerged in the 1990s and accelerated significantly after 2016. Publication peaks coinciding with Paralympic Games years (2012, 2016, 2020) demonstrate the influence of major sporting events on research priorities. Word cloud analysis identified dominant themes including "prospective cohort studies," "consensus statements," and "Paralympic Games." International collaboration network analysis shows the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia leading in publication output, with South Africa emerging as an unexpected central collaborator. The field demonstrates steady growth and increasingly adopts multidisciplinary approaches.Conclusion: The study provides one of the first comprehensive bibliometric mappings of disability sports injury literature, revealing global research networks and knowledge production centers while establishing a methodological framework for future studies. Strengthening multidisciplinary approaches and expanding international collaborations are critical for improving the health and performance of athletes with disabilities. These results could offer valuable guidance for researchers, clinicians, and sports administrators working in this specialized field.
