After this successful period, the IWRF and the PHC were keen on extending and expanding their cooperation. In January, Viola Altmann was awarded the title Honorary Clinical Lecturer in Rehabilitation until 2025. The focus of research will remain on the development of Evidence Based Classification in wheelchair court sports. The first step will be the development of standardised tests for ball activities in wheelchair court sports. As a basis for this, a literature review was conducted in 2020. Standardised ball activities will be added to the already existing standardised tests for wheelchair activities to facilitate ongoing research in the impact of arm impairment on activity limitation, in which the focus will extend from weakness in the muscles around the shoulders and the elbows, to include weakness in muscles of the wrists and the hands. In cooperation with Klimmendaal, there will be a second research line focussing on arm coordination impairment.
