Key points for determining disabled sports classification (cerebral palsy ISRA)

ClassPoints
*Class 6 athletes usually have more control problems in the upper limbs than class 5 athletes, although the former usually have better function in the lower limbs, particularly when running.6 For determining classes 5 and 6, the sum scores in lower limbs and upper limbs are compared; when the scores are equal or the sum scores in lower limbs are more than the sum scores in upper limbs, the sports class is 6; when the sum scores in upper limbs are more than sum scores in lower limbs, the sports class is 5.
