T38

This Class is for the Athletes who are affected by mild hypertonia (diplegic, hemiplegic or monoplegic presentation which is not consistent with Class T35 or T37 or with mild/very localised dystonia), ataxia or athetosis which is not consistent with a T36 profile. The Athlete must meet the Minimum Impairment Criteria presented in Sections 2.1 (hypertonia), 2.1.2 (ataxia) and 2.1.3 (athetosis).

Athletes in this Class have Impairments causing mild activity limitation. Some Athletes will execute the motor performance tests with no observable deficits, but this is not a requirement for this Class. The Class includes Athletes who execute the motor performance tests with mild reductions in one (1) or more of the following: active range of movement through the hip, knee and/or ankle; dynamic balance; movement sequencing of the legs, trunk and arms; reduced intra-limb coordination in the legs; reduced power; or asymmetry in lower limb range of movement.
