Amputee Sports

Amputee sports refer to athletic activities designed for individuals who have lost limbs, allowing them to compete and perform at various levels. These sports include adaptive versions of traditional games, like wheelchair basketball and amputee soccer, as well as unique competitions, such as the Paralympics. Participants use specialized equipment, such as prosthetic limbs or wheelchairs, tailored to their needs. Amputee sports not only promote physical fitness and skill but also encourage inclusivity, resilience, and community among athletes, showcasing their abilities rather than limitations. They highlight the spirit of competition and the pursuit of excellence in the face of challenges.
