      Malaysia sent a delegation to compete at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, West Germany from 2 August to 11 August. This marked the first time the country has participated in the Paralympic Games as a whole. They sent four competitors to these games, all of which were male athletes. The country did not win a medal at these games.


      Disability classifications


      Athletes at the Paralympics in 1972 were all afflicted by spinal cord injuries and required the use of a wheelchair. This is in contrast to later Paralympics that include events for participants that fit into any of five different disability categories; amputation, either congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes; visual impairment, including blindness; Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis. Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing.
