Wheelchair basketball, which was invented in England in 1945 for the purpose of rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injuries, is now distributed in 97 countries. The stadium specifications are the same as for non-disabled basketball, but there are differences in some rules, such as allowing double dribbling. Athletes are given a sport grade (1 to 4.5) determined by the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF), with the greater the limitations in physical activity, the lower the grade. The total rating of players entering the court must not exceed 14.
