The Paralympic Games is a major international multi-sport event involving athletes with a range of disabilities,

including impaired muscle power (e.g. paraplegia and quadriplegia, muscular dystrophy, post-polio syndrome, spina

bifida), impaired passive range of movement, limb deficiency (e.g. amputation or dysmelia), leg length difference,

short stature, hypertonia, ataxia, athetosis, vision impairment and intellectual impairment. There are Winter and

Summer Paralympic Games, which since the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul, South Korea, are held almost

immediately following the respective Olympic Games. All Paralympic Games are governed by the International

Paralympic Committee (IPC).​
