(2019). (Re-)presenting the Paralympics: Affective Nationalism and the 'able-disabled'. Communication & Sport Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The relationship between media, sport, nations and nationalism is well established, yet, there is an absence of these discussions at the intersection of communication, Paralympics and disability studies. This omission is particularly significant considering the rapid commodification of the Paralympic spectacle, exacerbated by the entry of Channel 4 (C4) as the UK Paralympic rights holders, that has seen the games become an important site of disability (re-)presentation. In this article, we focus on the construction of national, normative, disabled bodies in Paralympic representation drawn from an analysis of three integrated datasets from Channel 4’s broadcasting of the Rio 2016 Paralympics: interviews with C4 production and editorial staff; quantitative content analysis, and qualitative moving image analysis. We highlight the strategic approach taken by C4 to focus on successful medal winning athletes; the implications this has on the sports and disability classifications given media coverage; and the role of affective high-value production practices. We also reveal the commercial tensions and editorial decisions that broadcasters face with respect to which disabilities / bodies are made hyper-visible - and thereby those which are marginalized - as national disability sport icons that inculcate preferred notions of disability and the (re)imagined nation.

  • The Impact of Lower-Limb Prosthetic Limb Use in International C4 Track Para-Cycling
    The impact of lower-limb prosthetic limb use in international C4 track para-cycling An investigation was undertaken to ascertain any impact or significance of athletes within the C4 paracycling classification between those who use a lower- limb prostheses and those who do not. A statistical evaluation of event completion time was undertaken to assess C4 cyclists when competing at the World Championships and the Paralympic Games in the 1km track time trial. The C4 athletes who utilise a prostheses consistently outperformed non-amputees in the C4 classification from 2011-2016 on a competition-to-competition basis. However, when the participations were grouped as a whole together and an identified outlier athlete was removed, it was then demonstrated that there was no statistical significance between those who required the use of a lower-limb prostheses to those that did not when either evaluated on a competition-by- competition or on an amputee and non-amputee group-by-group basis (P=>0.05). As a result, this study proposes that those requiring the use of lower-limb prostheses are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged in the C4 classification category when competing in the 1km time trial at this time. Implications for Rehabilitation • This analysis indicates that at this time, there is no evidence to suggest that use of such technology is advantageous in this category or should be seen as controversial. • The design of lower-limb prosthetic limb technology in cycling should continue to be developed and optimized unabated. • This study begins to address the cited lack of peer reviewed information regarding paracycling with limb absence available to practitioners.

  • The Neuroanatomy of Female Pelvic Pain
    Chapter 2 The Neuroanatomy of Female Pelvic Pain Frank H. Willard and Mark D. Schuenke Introduction The female pelvis is innervated through primary afferent fi bers that course in nerves related to both the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic pelvis includes the bony pelvis, its ligaments, and its surrounding skeletal muscle of the urogenital and anal triangles, whereas the visceral pelvis includes the endopelvic fascial lining of the levator ani and the organ systems that it surrounds such as the rectum, reproductive organs, and urinary bladder. Uncovering the origin of pelvic pain patterns created by the convergence of these two separate primary afferent fi ber systems – somatic and visceral – on common neuronal circuitry in the sacral and thoracolumbar spinal cord can be a very dif fi cult process. Diagnosing these blended somatovisceral pelvic pain patterns in the female is further complicated by the strong descending signals from the cerebrum and brainstem to the dorsal horn neurons that can signi fi cantly modulate the perception of pain. These descending systems are themselves signi fi cantly in fl uenced by both the physiological (such as hormonal) and psychological (such as emotional) states of the individual further distorting the intensity, quality, and localization of pain from the pelvis. The interpretation of pelvic pain patterns requires a sound knowledge of the innervation of somatic and visceral pelvic structures coupled with an understand- ing of the interactions occurring in the dorsal horn of the lower spinal cord as well as in the brainstem and forebrain. This review will examine the somatic and vis- ceral innervation of the major structures and organ systems in and around the female pelvis.

  • Disc Pathology Lumbar Dermatomes
    Lumbar Dermatomes: Disc Pathology Lumbar Dermatomes In this example, nerve root pain is due to disc pathology. Dermatomes are regions of altered sensation from irritated or damaged nerve roots. Symptoms that follow a dermatome (numbness, tingling or pain) may indicate a pathology that involves the related nerve root. These symptoms can follow the entire dermatome or just part of it. When symptoms cover more than one dermatome it may suggest more severe pathology and involvement of more than one nerve root. Disc Pathology: Lumbar Disc Pathology has various presentations. 1. Normal Disc 2. Internal Disc Disorder: Small tear at the inner part of the outer third of the disc where the annulus is innervated. 3. Outer Disc Disorder: Larger tear that extends to the outer part of the annulus. Discography is a good way to diagnose the morphology of the disc and establish the disc as a pain generator. 4. Protrusion: Small disc bulge and the outer layers of the annulus are intact 5. Prolapse: Large disc bulge that breaks through the layers of the annulus but not the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL). 6. Extrusion: Large disc bulge that breaks through the layers of the annulus and the PLL. This often causes pain in a multitude of dermatomes. 7. Sequestration (not shown; rare): Disc fragment breaks away from the rest of the discs. 1. Sizer PS Jr, Phelps V, Matthijs O. Pain generators of the lumbar spine. Pain Pract. 2001;1(3):255‐ 273. 2.

  • Para Cycling Information Sheet About the Sport Classification Explained
    Para cycling information sheet About the sport Para cycling is cycling for people with impairments resulting from a health condition (disability). Para athletes with physical impairments either compete on handcycles, tricycles or bicycles, while those with a visual impairment compete on tandems with a sighted ‘pilot’. Para cycling is divided into track and road events, with seven events in total. Classification explained In Para sport classification provides the structure for fair and equitable competition to ensure that winning is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus – the same factors that account for success in sport for able-bodied athletes. The Para sport classification assessment process identifies the eligibility of each Para athlete’s impairment, and groups them into a sport class according to the degree of activity limitation resulting from their impairment. Classification is sport-specific as an eligible impairment affects a Para athlete’s ability to perform in different sports to a different extent. Each Para sport has a different classification system. Standard Classification in detail Para-Cycling sport classes include: Handcycle sport classes H1 – 5: There are five different sport classes for handcycle racing. The lower numbers indicate a more severe activity limitation. Para athletes competing in the H1 classes have a complete loss of trunk and leg function and limited arm function, e.g. as a result of a spinal cord injury. Para athletes in the H4 class have limited or no leg function, but good trunk and arm function. Para cyclists in sport classes H1 – 4 compete in a reclined position. Para cyclists in the H5 sport class sit on their knees because they are able to use their arms and trunk to accelerate the handcycle.
