There will be numerous competitions for a broad selection of disciplines that will allow those with powered knee prostheses, wearable arm prostheses, powered exoskeletons, powered wheelchairs, electrically stimulated muscles and novel brain-computer interfaces to take part.

Many different forms of assistive devices will be accepted, including little-known prototypes from research labs as well as familiar commercial products. Each competition will award two medals — one for the pilot and one for the individual(s) responsible for providing the device.
