Best Answer

If you go to the official paralympics web site, there is a pdf file for each sport which can be downloaded explaining each code classification. It is quite complicated as there are lots of criteria to meet for a classification which is explained in the manual. The site is

EG. S1

1. Tetraplegia or polio comparable to a complete lesio

n below C5.

control and very limited movements of all limbs for

propulsion.

3. Severe arthrogryposis affect all four limbs with

severely restricted movement in the upper limbs and lim
