Para-cycling Classification
Para-cycling classification is the process of classifying participants in para-cycling covering four functional disability types. The classification system includes classes for handcycles for people who have lower limb mobility issues. The sport is governed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Definition There are fourteen classifications based on functional disability type. The blind classifications are based on medical classification, not functional mobility classification.

Para-cycling
Para-cycling (or Paracycling) is the sport of cycling (sport), cycling adapted for cyclists who have various disability, disabilities. It is governed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The sport consists of seven different events which include Road bicycle racing, road and Track cycling, track races. The world's elite para-cyclists compete at UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Track and UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships, Road Worlds Championships (since 1994), the Cycling at the Commonwealth Games, Commonwealth Games, the Cycling at the Summer Paralympics, Paralympic Games and the UCI World Cups, World Cup (since 2010). History Para-cycling originated in the 1980s, starting with visually impaired riders who competed on a tandem bicycle, tandem with a sighted partner. In New York 1984 it entered the Summer Paralympic Games, where it consisted of only road races for riders with cerebral palsy. Over the next four Paraolympic Games further events were added.

Paraplegia
Paraplegia, or paraparesis, is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. The word comes from Ionic Greek () "half-stricken". It is usually caused by spinal cord injury or a congenital condition that affects the neural (brain) elements of the spinal canal. The area of the spinal canal that is affected in paraplegia is either the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions. If four limbs are affected by paralysis, tetraplegia or quadriplegia is the correct term. If only one limb is affected, the correct term is monoplegia. Spastic paraplegia is a form of paraplegia defined by spasticity of the affected muscles, rather than flaccid paralysis. The American Spinal Injury Association classifies spinal cord injury severity in the following manner. ASIA A is the complete loss of sensory function and motor skills below the injury. ASIA B is having some sensory function below the injury, but no motor function. In ASIA C, there is some motor function below the level of ...

H3 (classification)
H3 is a para-cycling classification. The UCI recommends this be coded as MH3 or WH3. Definition Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) defines H3 as: H3.1 (ex-H2.1) * Paraplegic with impairments corresponding to a complete lesion from Th1 to Th3 * Very limited trunk stability * Impaired sympathetic nerve system * Non-spinal cord injury, but functional ability profile equivalent to sport class H3.1 (ex-H2.1) * Recumbent position in handbike mandatory (AP-bikes). H3.2 (ex-H2.2) * Paraplegic with impairments corresponding to a complete lesion from Th4 to Th10 * Limited trunk stability * Non-spinal cord injury, functional ability profile equivalent to sport class H3.2 (ex-H2.2) * Recumbent position in handbike mandatory (AP-bikes) * Moderate quadriplegia with/without athetosis/ataxia * Severe hemiplegia (non-ambulant) * Severe diplegia (non-ambulant) and athetosis/ataxia * Neurological impairments with at least grade 1 spasticity in upper limb. The cycle This classification can use an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tetraplegia
Tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia, is defined as the dysfunction or loss of motor and/or sensory function in the cervical area of the spinal cord. A loss of motor function can present as either weakness or paralysis leading to partial or total loss of function in the arms, legs, trunk, and pelvis; paraplegia is similar but affects the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral segments of the spinal cord and arm function is spared. The paralysis may be flaccid or spastic. A loss of sensory function can present as an impairment or complete inability to sense light touch, pressure, heat, pinprick/pain, and proprioception. In these types of spinal cord injury, it is common to have a loss of both sensation and motor control. Signs and symptoms Although the most obvious symptom is impairment of the limbs, functioning is also impaired in the trunk and pelvic organs. This can lead to loss or impairment of controlling bowel and bladder, sexual function, digestion, breathing and other auton ...

C5 (classification)
C5 is a para-cycling classification. The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) recommends this be coded as MC5 or WC5. Definition PBS defined this classification as "Cyclists with least impairment, including single amputation and minimal neurological disfunction." Classification history Cycling first became a Paralympic sport at the 1988 Summer Paralympics. In September 2006, governance for para-cycling passed from the International Paralympic Committee's International Cycling Committee to UCI at a meeting in Switzerland. When this happened, the responsibility of classifying the sport also changed. At the Paralympic Games For the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio, the International Paralympic Committee had a zero classification at the Games policy. This policy was put into place in 2014, with the goal of avoiding last minute changes in classes that would negatively impact athlete training preparations. All competitors needed to be internationally classified with their classificat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
C4 (classification)
C4 is a para-cycling classification. It includes people with lower limb impairments or issues with lower limb functionality. Disability groups covered by this classification include people with cerebral palsy, amputations and other lower limb impairments. The responsibility for this classification passed from the IPC to the UCI in September 2006. Definition PBS defined this classification as "Cyclists with upper or lower limb impairments and low-level neurological impairment." ''The Telegraph'' defined this classification in 2011 as "C 1–5: Athletes with cerebral palsy, limb impairments and amputations." The UCI recommends this be coded as MC4 or WC4. Disability groups One of the disability groups in this class is people with cerebral palsy from the CP7 and CP8 classes. CP7 sportspeople are able to walk, but appear to do so while having a limp as one side of their body is more affected than the other. They may have involuntary muscles spasms on one side of their body. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
