The field of medicine continues to advance as new technologies emerge. These technological advancements include the science of sports prostheses and wheelchairs, in which there have been significant advancements over the past decades. The world of adaptive sports continues to expand, largely due to a combination of the increase in awareness, inclusion, and technology. As participation in sports for people with impairments increases, there has been an associated demand for new, innovative adaptive sporting equipment designs that help accommodate the physical deficits of the individual. Controversy has risen as persons with disabilities advance their skills with adaptive sports equipment to compete with individuals without disabilities. The controversy leads to the question: is the adaptive equipment allowing athletes with disability to regain the lost function from their baseline or does it allow them to exceed prior ability level? This narrative review provides information regarding the performance effects of advances in technology and biomechanics of adaptive sports equipment to help answer these questions.
随着新技术的出现，医学领域不断进步。这些技术进步包括运动假肢和轮椅科学，在过去几十年里取得了重大进展。适应性运动的世界在不断扩大，这主要归功于意识、包容性和技术的共同提高。随着残疾人参与体育运动的人数增加，对新型创新适应性运动装备设计的需求也随之而来，这些设计有助于适应个人的身体缺陷。随着残疾人使用适应性运动装备提升技能以与非残疾人竞争，争议随之而来。这一争议引发了一个问题：适应性装备是让残疾运动员从基线恢复失去的功能，还是让他们超越先前的能力水平？这篇叙述性综述提供了有关适应性运动装备技术和生物力学进步的性能影响的信息，以帮助回答这些问题。
