T37 (classification)

[2] The Australian Paralympic Committee defines this classification as being for "Moderate to minimal hemiplegia (i.e. one half of the body affected – arm and leg on same side).

"[3] 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.

If an official believes movement could be a result of this, they can restart the entire field without disqualifying any runners.

[14] 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 running or jumping.
