Wheelchair racing
A wheelchair racing class with severe coordination impairment, but enough arm function to propel the chair.
Quadriplegic - Severe to moderate involvement. Spasticity Grade 4 to 3 with or without athetosis. Included in this Sport Class are severe athetoid quadriplegics with more function in less affected side and no spasticity. Poor functional strength in all extremities and trunk but able to functionally propel a wheelchair with arms.
Upper extremities - Hand severe to moderate involvement. Spasticity Grade 3. A Class 32 Athlete often has a cylindrical or spherical grasp. Active range of movement is moderately to severely impaired, thus hand function is the key.
Trunk - Static trunk control is fair. Dynamic trunk control is poor as demonstrated by the obligatory use of upper extremities and/or head to assist in returning to the mid-line (upright position).
Lower extremities - The Athlete may ambulate (always with abnormal gait) but is never able to run functionally.
