Which physical impairments are eligible for classification?

Athletics Australia's provisional classification fact sheet lists these eligible physical impairments, with examples:

• Hypertonia (for example cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury)
• Ataxia (for example cerebral palsy)
• Athetosis (for example cerebral palsy)
• Impaired muscle power (for example spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy)
• Impaired range of motion (for example arthrogryposis)
• Limb deficiency (for example amputation, dysmelia)
• Leg length difference (for example trauma to a growth plate)
• Short stature

There is an established minimal impairment criteria that a child must meet to be eligible. Classification assesses the impairment and how it affects running, throwing and jumping for athletics.
