Origins of handicapped sport
• Importance of physical activity acknowledged in middle ages
• 1880 (England) – Drawing of open races
• 1888 (Germany) – foundation of the German Sport Club for the Deaf
• 20th century: time after the wars; Importance of activity during rehabilitation

Dr. Ludwig Guttmann • 1944 (England) – established
the National Spinal Injuries Centre; Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury
• Scope: Integration of the wounded into normal life
• International professional/ clinical interest in his work
• 1948 (England) – ‘Stoke Mandeville Games’: 16 paralysed archers (same day as opening of the London Olympic Games!)

Dr. Ludwig Guttmann …
• 1952 (England) – SMG attract international competitors
• Idea: peaceful inter- national sporting event: Hope & integration
1960 (Italy) – 1st ”Paralym- pic Games”, Rome (same venue as OG)

Further development • 1960 (Italy) – Rome: 400/23 athletes/
countries represented
• 1988 (Korea) – Seoul: 3013/61 athletes/ countries; hence always the same venue os the OG; ‘Paralympic Games’ as the official name by ICC (Int’l Coordinating C’ttee Sport for the Disabled in the World)
• 1989 (-”-) – Foundation of the IPC (Int’l Paralympic C’ttee)

Winter & Summer Games • 1974: Idea of paralympic wintergames
discussed by ISOD
• 1974 - 75: SHIF (Swedish Sport Org. For the Disabled) warrants to add the 1st Winter Olympic Games for the Disabled to the Örnsköldsvik Games (Sweden), 1976

Technology Are the ‘paralympics’ a showcase for
technology in sport?
![Page 12: TECHNOLOGY AND SPORTS OF THE HANDICAPPED · 2011. 10. 11. · © Uwe Kersting, 2011 1 TECHNOLOGY AND SPORTS OF THE HANDICAPPED Uwe Kersting – MiniModule 02 – 2011 Idræt – Sports](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cb9aff982be7674442342/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

More technology?

Classification
Initially purely based on medical diagnosis:
L2 spinal cord injury vs. Double above knee amputee (T54)
Focus on sport, rather then diagnosis - GOAL: The purpose of a Paralympic Sport classification system is to
minimize the impact of impairment on the outcome of competition, so that the athletes who succeed in competition are those with best, anthropometry, physiology and psychology and who have enhanced them to best effect (training hard, quality coaching).
(IPC, 2009)
Evidence based classification …

Technology interaction
Ambulation in lower extremity amputees
Amputation effects?
Reduced muscle mass, passive joints, ideal elastic deformation of springlike mechanisms, coupling/connection problem
- Unilateral vs. Bilateral amputees
- Transtibial vs. Transfemoral amputees
Mechanical analysis required
![Page 15: TECHNOLOGY AND SPORTS OF THE HANDICAPPED · 2011. 10. 11. · © Uwe Kersting, 2011 1 TECHNOLOGY AND SPORTS OF THE HANDICAPPED Uwe Kersting – MiniModule 02 – 2011 Idræt – Sports](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cb9aff982be7674442342/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Modeling & Simulation
• Represent human anatomy as simplified mechanical model – e.g. rigid body model
• Derive dynamic equations of motion – Newton-Euler, Lagrangian method, etc.
• Measure kinematic data and GRF
• Inverse Solution Forces & Torques
• Solve differential equations of motion by specifying input forces & torques plus initial conditions

• Rigid Body assumption
• Fixed joint axes
• Ideal joints
• Fixed inertia properties
• No muscles

Overall less work done on prosthetic side
Seattle light and Flex feet improve energy generation (99.7, 127.6, 141.1 J)
Passive use of amputated side?
With suitable prothesis design a more normal situation can be achieved.
Limitations: contact mechanism neglected, fixed joint axis assumption

Room for improvement, further research
