Wheelchair Basketball

An adaptive version of basketball played by athletes using sport-specific wheelchairs. The game follows similar rules to standing basketball with modifications for wheelchair use, including a classification system that assigns point values to players based on their functional ability to ensure balanced team composition. Competitive wheelchairs for basketball are individually customized and cost thousands of dollars. Wheelchair basketball is one of the most established Paralympic sports, yet it still faces significant technological gaps in performance tracking and analytics compared to its able-bodied counterpart.
