IWRF Classification Workshop
An efficient classification system must;
Enable fair and equitable competition Give each athlete with a disability an equal
opportunity to compete at all levels Only measure functional limitations caused by the
physical disability Be as simple as possible so that it can be used in
a consistent way in every participating country Be sport specific
Principles of Classification
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
The following should NOT under any circumstances affect an athlete's class in any sport;
Sporting Skills or Natural Talent Genetic Superiority or Inferiority Body Size or Type, i.e. height, strength, length of arms etc. Gender Training Effect Use of Strapping that Provides Stability and Allows
Enhanced Techniques/Performance
Principles of Classification
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Functionally based classification system established in 1991
Evolved from 3 classes to 7 classes Comprised of:
– Manual Muscle Test– Functional Skills– Observation on Court
Left Arm + Right Arm / 2 + Trunk Value = Class N = New, T = Temporary, R = Review,
P = Permanent
IWRF Classification System

Spinal Cord Injury Amputation Polio & Post Polio Syndrome Neuromuscular Conditions Cerebral Palsy Les Autres (Others)
Who Can Play ?
Athlete Ine Ineligibility
Combination of UE & Trunk Scores Greater 3.5
No Hand Disability - MMT Grades 4-5
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Shoulders– Deltoids– Serratus anterior– Pectoralis (Sternal &
Clavicular)– Latissimus dorsi
Arms– Biceps– Triceps– Rotators (External &
Internal)
The Bench Test
Hands– Wrists– Fingers– Thumb
Trunk– Forward
Flexion/Extension– Rotation
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Chair Skills– Forwards & Backwards– Sprinting– Turning– Figure of 8s
Ball Skills– Passing– One Handed Pass – Pop Pass– Dribbling– Rimming
Picking One on One Play
Functional Skills Tests
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Low Pointers: 0.51.01.5
Mid Pointers: 2.02.5
High Pointers: 3.03.5
Class Profiles
No Triceps Proximal Weakness Abducted elbows Slow acceleration &
chair speed ‘Head bob’ when
pushing No Chest Pass Rarely used as a ball
carrier Used as a ‘Blocker’
0.5 Class
Limited Triceps Stronger Proximally Longer wheel contact
when pushing with elbows in closer
Better turning ability Less of a ‘head bob’
when pushing No/ very weak chest pass Sometimes used as a ball
carrier/in-bounder
1.0 Class
Bilateral Triceps 3+ to 4- Or Asymmetrical upper
extremities Good acceleration Good chair turning ability Strong when picking Fair chest pass Sometimes used as a
ball carrier/in bounder
1.5 Class
Triceps 4-5 Balanced wrist
flexion/extension 4-5 No/little hand function Excellent chair skills Good chest pass Poor one handed pass Strong when picking Some ball security Used as a ball
carrier/receiver
2.0 Class
Either have 2.0 arms bilaterally + 0.5 trunk
Or bilateral balanced finger flexion/extension without true grasp-release
Excellent chair skills Strong chest pass OK one handed pass (lacks
accuracy & consistency) OK ball security Used as a ball carrier
2.5 Class
Functional grasp & release No/limited Intrinsic hand
function Limited thumb function Excellent chair skills Strong chest pass Good one handed pass Good dribbling Good ball security & control Used as No.1/No.2 ball
carrier
3.0 Class
Excellent chair skills Excellent passing skills Excellent ball security Usually has some trunk Used as No.1 ball
carrier
3.5 Class

IWRF Classification Workshop
Two tests used to determine function of the trunk
The Trunk Tests
1 pt Forward flexion & extension AND rotation
0.5 pt Either forward flexion & extension OR rotation
0 pts No trunk function
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Trunk Tests
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Used to determine function in 3.0+ hands
Used in conjunction with complete MMT of hands
9 functional tests Specific relevance to
function on court Score of 1.0 -8.0 pts = 3.0
hand Score of 8.5-9.0 pts = 4.0
hand
The Hand Function Tests
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
Test 1Observation of hands
1 No wasting, hand arches maintained
0.5 Partial wasting
0 Severe wasting, absent intrinsic function
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
1 Able to do with all four digits, good
resistance & quality of movement
0.5 Able to do with only a few digits (1 or 2)
0 Unable to perform
Test 5Making ‘O’s with each digit and thumb
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
1 Able to assume position and pick up
0.5 Can assume position but can’t pick up coins without substitution
0 Unable to perform
Test 6Put coins on table and get athlete to pick them up
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
1 Able to perform with good quality and with resistance
0.5 May assume position but unable to
perform with resistance
0 Unable to assume position
Test 7Place a piece of paper between the athletes fingers. Apply resistance to paper.
IWRF
IWRF Classification Workshop
1 Pure movement with evidence of hand
arches
0.5 Partial movement or unable due to lack of sensation
0 Flat hand, no evidence of ability
Test 8Hold the ball overhead and bring onto fingertips
