Disability classifications
Main article: Disability sport classification
Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories ; amputation , the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy ; wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment , including blindness ; Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis . Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Some sports, such as athletics , divide athletes by both the category and severity of their disabilities, other sports, for example swimming , group competitors from different categories together, the only separation being based on the severity of the disability.
