TRI 5 - Moderate leg impairment 23 TRI 6 - Visual Impairment 36 37a 37b Blind Partially Sighted Partially Sighted Normal function or minimal disadvantage Paresis Absence of limb Incoordinate Severely incoordinate Paresis or incoordinate Deformity Wheelchair user 28
13. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT: The locomotor impairment is measured on a 0-5 scale, and recorded on the Assessment Card. It is necessary to measure and record only the relevant impairment, whether power, range, or coordination. For example: impairment of power is measured for complete spinal lesions, impairment of range is measured for those with congenital deformities, impairment of coordination for those with cerebral palsy, or head injuries. Impairment of sight, hearing, or learning can also be recorded on the assessment card. The Visual Impairment Certificate (Appendix 4) must also be completed for visually impaired paratriathletes. Muscle Testing (Power scale) 0 - Total lack of voluntary contraction 1 - Faint contraction without any movement of the limb (trace, flicker) 2 - Contraction with very weak movement through full range of motion when gravity is eliminated (poor) 3 - Contraction with movement through the complete joint range against gravity 4 - Contraction with full range movement against gravity and some resistance (good) 5 - Contraction of normal strength through full range of movement against full resistance. (Daniels and Worthingham 1980) Joint Range Scale 0 - No movement possible 1 - Less than 25% movement possible 2 - More than 25% range of movement possible 3 - More than 50% range of movement possible 4 - More than 75% range of movement possible 5 - 100% range of movement possible Co-ordination scale (Blomquist 1985) 0 - Activity impossible 1 - Severe impairment; only able to initiate activity without completion 2 - Severe impairment; able to accomplish the activity but in a very unorthodox way 29
