Para Standing Neuro/Muscular
Definition of Class:
Athletes suffering from neurological, neuro-motor disorders or muscle loss/deficiency disorders/injuries. This is a broad class due to the number of unique injuries and disorders that qualify one as adaptive but not as blatant as an amputation. As more athletes participate, the advisory board will be able to better modify this class in the future.
All highland games rules and regulations apply other than identified permissible adaptations and event weights.
