Oculomotor Control in Amputee Soccer Players

Wojciech Jedziniak, Piotr Lesiakowski, and Teresa Zwierko

, Stepinski, & Zwierko, 2016 ), differences in the investigated parameters may be more evident in dynamic situations, at other distances, or under real soccer-specific conditions. Moreover, it is important to note that the biomechanics of single-leg running using crutches in amputee soccer affect body posture

reliability (α = .75) when assessing motor competence in CwID. The balance assessment consisted of two tasks, single-leg stand on a balance beam with the eyes open and walking forward heel-to-toe on the line. The TGDM-3 and the BOT-2 were the preferred motor competence assessment tools for use in this study

The Impact of Blade Technology on Paralympic Sprint Performance Between 1996 and 2016: Bilateral Amputees’ Competitive Advantage

Yetsa A. Tuakli-Wosornu, Xiang Li, Kimberly E. Ona Ayala, Yinfei Wu, Michael Amick, and David B. Frumberg

, revised classification rules saw sprinters with double- and single-leg amputation allocated into different sport classes (“T61–64”), in part due to observations that these two groups of athletes (i.e., those with unilateral lower limb amputation—T61, T62—vs. those with bilateral lower limb amputations—T63

moderate versus mild forms of impairment ( Reina et al., 2018 ). Four Bounds-for-Distance Participants were placed on a marked line, and they covered the maximum possible distance in four consecutive single-leg bounds from a standing start. The distance was measured from the starting line to the heel
