33-504: CP6 or CP-6 may refer to: CP6 (classification) , a disability sport classification specific to cerebral palsy CP6 (satellite) , a satellite operated by California Polytechnic State University Honeywell CP-6 , a discontinued computer operating system CP6, a Network Rail Control Period (2019–2024) of railway infrastructure in Great Britain CP6, an EEG electrode site in

66-476: A bicycle in the C3 class. CP6 sportspeople are eligible to compete in association football in the sport of CP football. CP6 players are classified as FT6. The rules of the sport are such that there must be at least on FT5 or FT6 player on the field at all times. If it is not possible to field an FT5 or FT6 player, the team plays with six players on the field instead of seven. The extent of their disability

99-501: A low economy of movement. One of the available sports for CP2 competitors is slalom. Slalom involves an obstacle course for people using carts. CP2 competitors use self-propelled carts to navigate the course. CP2 sports people are eligible to compete in swimming at the Paralympic Games . CP2 tend to be classified as S2 . CP2 swimmers tend to have a passive normalized drag in the range of 1.0 to 1.1. This puts them into

132-490: A passive normalized drag in the range of 0.5 to 0.8. This puts them into the passive drag band of PDB6, PDB7, PDB8, PDB9, and PDB10. Because of their balance issues, swimmers in this class can find the starting block problematic and often have slower times entering the water than other competitors in their class. CP6 swimmers experience swimmers shoulder, a swimming related injury, at rates similar to their able-bodied counterparts. When fatigued, asymmetry in their stroke becomes

165-451: A physical assessment. This may involve classifiers who are medical experts. The second stage involves observing the footballer practising their sport specific skills in a non-competitive setting. The third stage involves classifiers observing the player in competition for at least 30 minutes. Following that, the classification panel then assigns the footballer to a class, which may also include "Not Eligible." CP6 are able to compete at

198-428: A problem for swimmers in this class. The integrated classification system used for swimming, where swimmers with CP compete against those with other disabilities, is subject to criticisms has been that the nature of CP is that greater exertion leads to decreased dexterity and fine motor movements. This puts competitors with CP at a disadvantage when competing against people with amputations who do not lose coordination as

231-654: A push by the CP-ISRA to promote the sport. People with cerebral palsy are eligible to compete in boccia at the Paralympic Games . CP2 competitors compete in the BC1 or BC2 class in BisFed events. BC1 CP2 boccia players may push the ball with their feet instead of their arms or using a ramp like CP1 players in the same class. They are allowed to have assistants. BC2 classified players are not allowed to have assistants. CP1 to CP4 competitors may compete using tricycles in

264-511: A related sport specific class. One of the standard means of assessing functional classification is the bench test, which is used in swimming, lawn bowls and wheelchair fencing. Using the Adapted Research Council (MRC) measurements, muscle strength is tested using the bench press for a variety of disabilities a muscle being assessed on a scale of 1 to 5 for people with cerebral palsy and other issues with muscle spasticity. A 1

297-448: A result of exertion. People with cerebral palsy in this class are eligible to compete at the elite level in a number of other sports including wheelchair tennis, archery, para-equestrian , powerlifting, rowing, sailing, shooting, sledge hockey, table tennis, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, and table tennis. Race running is another sport open to this class. CP6 race runners may be classified as RR3 or RR4. Para-Taekwondo

330-548: A wheelchair. Cerebral Palsy-International Sports and Recreation Association defined this class in January 2005 as, "Quadriplegic (Tetraplegic)-Severe to moderate involvement. Spasticity Grade 3+ to 3 with or without athetosis. Severe athetoid or tetraplegic with more function in less affected side. Poor functional strength in all extremities and trunk but able to propel a wheelchair. Lower Extremities-A demonstrable degree of function in one or both lower limbs allowing propulsion of

363-476: Is another sport open to CP6 competitors. Early on, the CP6 classification competed as CP6 before a different sport specific classification system was developed. CP2 (classification) CP2 is a disability sport classification specific to cerebral palsy. In many sports, it is grouped inside other classifications to allow people with cerebral palsy to compete against people with other different disabilities but

396-518: Is common in Class 6 athletes and should not be a reason for placement in Class 5. Upper Extremities and Hand Control-Grasp and release can be significantly affected when throwing in the moderate to severe athetoid athlete. The more spasticity present the greater the limits on follow through and maintenance of balance after throwing. " CP6 sportspeople are able to walk without the need for an assistive device. They lack coordination in all their limbs, with

429-778: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages CP6 (classification) Some of the sports that CP6 sportspeople are eligible to participate in at the elite level include athletics, cycling, football, skiing, swimming, race running, para-taekwondo, wheelchair tennis, archery, para-equestrian , powerlifting, rowing, sailing, shooting, sledge hockey, table tennis, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, and table tennis In some of these sports, different classification systems or names for CP6 are used. Cerebral Palsy-International Sports and Recreation Association defined this class in January 2005 as, "Athetoid or Ataxic - Moderate involvement The athlete ambulates without assistive devices. Athetosis

462-426: Is for no functional movement of the muscle or where there is no motor coordination. A 2 is for normal muscle movement range not exceeding 25% or where the movement can only take place with great difficult and, even then, very slowly. A 3 is where normal muscle movement range does not exceed 50%. A 4 is when normal muscle movement range does not exceed 75% and or there is slight in-coordination of muscle movement. A 5

495-447: Is for normal muscle movement. Swimming classification for CP2 swimmers generally has three components. The first is a bench press. The second is water test. The third is in competition observation. As part of the water test, swimmers are often required to demonstrate their swimming technique for all four strokes. They usually swim a distance of 25 meters for each stroke. They are also generally required to demonstrate how they enter

528-560: Is not a typical one owing to the lack of motion control. In some cases, CP2 athletes be grouped in with F51 , F52 or F53 classes. Prior to a classification rule change made in 2009, CP2 Lower athletes often compete in T31 for track events. Historically, CP2 athletes were more active in track events. Changes in the classification during the 1980s and 1990s led to most track events for CP2 racers being dropped and replaced exclusively with field events. This has been criticized, because with

561-529: Is often better than their form while walking. People with cerebral palsy are eligible to compete in cycling at the Paralympic Games . CP5 and CP6 competitors may compete using tricycles in the T2 class. Cyclists opting to compete in the T2 class often do so as a result of balance issues, which make riding a standard bicycle or handcycle difficult. Tricyclists are not eligible to compete in track events, only in road events. CP5 and CP6 may also choose to compete on

594-669: Is possible for both feet to not be touching the ground while walking. CP2 and CP3 are unable to do this. CP2 competitors have better upper body control when compared to CP1 . In IPC sanctioned competitions, CP2 players are classified as T32/F32 . Events that may be on the program for CP2 competitors include the club, discus throw, shot put and javelin. In track events, they have poor wheelchair control and may only be able to push their chair forwards using one arm. In field throwing events, CP2 competitors may have poor device release because of spasticity in their hands but still have good upper body rotation. Their throwing motion generally

627-538: Is such that CP5 players would unlikely to ever be competitive against able-bodied players. When they do not have the ball, CP6 class players may have problems stopping and changing directions when running. When kicking from a non-stationary position, their accuracy is severely reduced. They may have difficulty when dribbling the ball. CP footballers are first required to go through national level classification before being eligible for international classification. The first stage of international classification involves

660-478: Is the American Teaching System. They first thing skiers learn is what their equipment is, and how to put it on and take it off. Next, skiers learn about positioning their body in a standing position on flat terrain. After this, the skier learns how to side step, and then how to fall down and get back up again. The skier then learns how to do a straight run, and then is taught how to get on and off

693-542: Is the most prevalent factor, although some ambulant spastic quadriplegics (i.e. more arm involvement than in ambulant diplegics), may fit this Class. Athetosis means unsteady (writhing), not having the capability to remain still. All four limbs will usually show functional involvement in sports movements. Class 6 athletes have more control problems in upper limbs than Class 5 athletes, although the former usually have better function in lower limbs particularly when running. Lower Extremities-Function can vary considerably depending on

759-572: The T1 class. Tricycles are only eligible to compete in road events, not track ones. Tricycles are often required because their level of CP effects their balance and they are unable to use a standard bicycle. CP2 cyclists may also use a handcycle in the H1 class. All CP2 cyclists are required to wear a helmet, with a special color used to designate their class. Their helmet color is red. CP2 race runners are classified as RR2. The classes events include

792-427: The 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. The running style of CP2 competitors differs a lot within the class. They may run using a standard form but with much shorter slides. They may also run with their legs butterflying. They generally do not require their arms be strapped to race runner. They will still have difficulty grasping the handles and steering. Compared to other CP race running classes, CP1 and CP2 have

825-440: The chair lift. This is followed by learning wedge turns and weight transfers, wedge turns, wide track parallel turns, how to use ski poles, and advanced parallel turns. While learning to ski, skiers in this class with cerebral palsy may use ski-bras, bungee cords, outriggers, slant boards or toe boards. CP6 swimmers are able to compete at the Paralympic Games . They are often classified as S7 . CP6 swimmers tend to have

858-547: The elite Paralympic level. CP6 Nordic skiers compete in LW3 and LW9 , while CP6 alpine skiers compete in LW 1 and LW3/2. In teaching skiers with cerebral palsy , instructors are encouraged to delay the introduction ski poles as skiers may overgrip them. Use of a ski bra is also encouraged as it helps the skier learn correct knee and hip placement. One method of learning to ski for competitors with cerebral palsy in this classification

891-669: The greater lack of coordination involving their upper body. Their bodies are often in motion, and they cannot maintain a still state. While CP2 , CP3 and CP6 have similar issues with Athetoid or Ataxic , CP6 competitors have "flight" while they are ambulant in that it is possible for both feet to not be touching the ground while walking. CP2 and CP3 are unable to do this. In athletics events, CP6 competitors participate in T36 /F36 classes. In athletics, CP6 competitors have some balance issues in track events and field events that require either running or throwing. Their form in running

924-657: The mid-line (upright position). Upper Extremities-Hand-Severe to moderate involvement. Spasticity Grade 3." People in this class tend to use electric wheelchairs. They may have controlled shakes and twitches. This bodily activity can spike their metabolic rate. They can operate a manual wheelchair but this is restricted because of motor control issues. Functional control issues effect all or most of their limbs. When participating in sport, CP2 competitors tend to have low energy expenditure. While CP2, CP3 and CP6 have similar issues with Athetoid or Ataxic , CP6 competitors have "flight" while they are ambulant in that it

957-428: The passive drag band of PDB4. People with cerebral palsy are eligible to compete at the elite level in a number of other sports including lawn bowls and archery. The process for being classified is often sports specific. As a general rule, CP2 sportspeople need to attend classification in a wheelchair. Failure to do so could result in them being classified as an ambulatory CP class competitor such as CP5 or CP6, or

990-511: The rise of commercialization of the Paralympic movement, there has been a reduction of classes in more popular sports for people with the most severe disabilities as these classes often have much higher support costs associated with them. Boccia made its debut on the Paralympic program at the 1984 Games. Boccia began to develop as an important sport for people in this class as track events began to disappear. The timing of this matched with

1023-469: The same level of functionality. People in this class tend to use electric wheelchairs and are quadriplegic . CP2 competitors have better upper body control when compared to CP1 . Elite sports open to CP2 classified athletes include athletics, boccia , cycling, race running, slalom, swimming, lawn bowls and archery. In some of these sports, different classification systems or names for CP2 are used. When they go through classification, CP2 people need to use

1056-441: The sports skill involved, from poor, laboured, slow walking to a running gait, which often shows better mechanics. There can be a marked contrast between the walking athetoid with inco-ordinated gait and the smooth even paced co-ordinated running/cycling action. Cyclical movements however are much better performed like cycling, running and free-style swimming Balance-May have good dynamic balance compared with static balance. Spasticity

1089-474: The wheelchair automatically qualifies individual as a Class 2 lower. If the classification team determines that the upper limb function is more appropriate for a higher 23 class then the athlete does not qualify as Class 2. Class 2 athletes (upper or lower) can sometimes ambulate but never run functionally. Trunk Control-Static control is fair. Dynamic trunk control is poor as demonstrated by the obligatory use of upper extremities and/or head to assist in returning to
