Summary

Sprint performance in Paralympic athletes using running-specific prostheses (RSPs) is not affected by the side of lower limb amputation. This study found no significant difference in race times between left and right-side amputees in elite 200-m races.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Paralympic Athletics

Background:

  • Paralympic guidelines for track events often overlook amputation side, focusing instead on amputation level.
  • Understanding the impact of amputation side is crucial for unilateral lower limb amputee athletes, especially in counterclockwise track events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether athletes with left-side running-specific prostheses (RSPs) exhibit slower race times compared to those with right-side RSPs.
  • To determine the effect of amputation side on sprint performance in Paralympic athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 59 elite athletes with unilateral lower limb amputation from 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Paralympics and 2011/2013 IPC Athletics World Championships.
  • Data collection included official race times and amputation side from publicly available internet broadcasts.
  • Statistical comparison of race times between athletes with left-side versus right-side RSPs across different classifications (T42 men, T44 men, T44 women).

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in the number of participants between left and right-side amputees.
  • No significant difference in 200-m race times was observed between athletes using RSPs on their left versus right side in T42 men, T44 men, and T44 women.
  • The side of amputation did not appear to influence sprint performance.

Conclusions:

  • Sprint performance in Paralympic athletes utilizing running-specific prostheses (RSPs) is not demonstrably affected by the side of lower limb amputation.
  • The findings suggest current Paralympic guidelines may not need to differentiate based on amputation side for sprint events on standard tracks.
