At the 2012 Summer Paralympics, elite
athletes with disabilities will rely on strength, speed and skill as they go
for the gold in 21 different sporting events. Rory Cooper, a biomechanical
engineer at the University of Pittsburgh, demonstrates how engineering can help
wheelchair athletes maximize their performance in such diverse sports as
wheelchair rugby, basketball and racing.
