Some studies have been done to quantify the contribution of the upper limbs in able-bodied cycling but, to date, none in the para-cycling field. First, the aim of this pilot study is to verify a protocol and related setup defined to compare the impairments of the upper limbs widespread among the para-athletes competing in the C (Cycling) division. The comparisons are between the simulations of impairments and with respect to the able-bodied reference positions from a performance, kinematic and kinetic point of view. Secondly, we want to understand if it is necessary to study the upper limbs to define a new evidence-based classification system in para-cycling.
