Classification in Disability Sport
• Sporting ability is judged by the results of the competition
• The winner is the most skilled or highly trained not the least ‘disabled’

Classification issues
• Pan disability
• Sports specificity
• Access to classification

Attributes of a good classification system
• Simple & Flexible

• Use recognised (validated) tests

Assessment
The critical factor in establishing a protocol for recording results is that each assessor uses the same system and that all team members interpret the results in the same manner
O’Sullivan et al (1981)

• Based on impairment

Why measure impairment?
![Page 12: Efds classification presentation 02.03.11](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55619d21d8b42ad9538b4707/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why measure impairment?

Unclassifiable?
To say someone is ‘not eligible or not classifiable’ is not to say they are not disabled. The severity of the disability is not in doubt, but some disabilities do not fit into a classification system.
IPC Classification Committee 2000
