title: [Evaluation of fertility in paraplegic men].
abstract: The characteristics of the semen of the paraplegic men were studied on 57 examinations of the semen of 21 patients. The technic of ejaculation stimulation had an influence on the volume, which was much more important with vibromassage, and the spermatozoa mobility, which was lower with electrostimulation. The comparison with the semen of a reference population of fertile and infertile men reveals that the diminution of the volume, of the normal forms and specially of the mobility are the main semen characteristics of the paraplegic. All the parameters have higher values in the semen of the fertile paraplegic than in these of the infertile paraplegic.
