[1] Jane Buckley, writing for the Sporting Wheelies, describes the athletes in this classification as: "CP2 (Upper), see CP-ISRA classes (appendix) Wheelchair "[1] The classification in the appendix by Buckley goes on to say "Athletes are able to propel a wheelchair but have very poor useful strength in their arms, legs and trunk.
"[2] The International Paralympic Committee defined this classification on their website in July 2016 as, "Coordination impairments (hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis)".
This class includes people who have cerebral palsy, or who have had a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
[6] Because this is a wheelchair class, different rules apply for overtaking with the responsibility lying with the racer coming from behind.
[6] In wheelchair races, the winner and time is determined by when the center of the front axle goes across the finish line.
[8] Athletes with cerebral palsy or similar impairments who wish to compete in para-athletics competition must first undergo a classification assessment.
During this, they both undergo a bench test of muscle coordination and demonstrate their skills in athletics, such as pushing a racing wheelchair and throwing.
