Classification

Players are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows players to compete against others with a similar level of function. Table tennis has ten numbered classes, with lower numbers corresponding to more severe disability. Classes one through five compete in wheelchairs and classes six through ten compete while standing.

Events

Twenty-four events will be contested. The events are men's and women's team and individual competitions for the various disability classifications.

Men's singles Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4–5 Class 6 Class 7 Class 8 Class 9–10

Medal summary

Medal table

This ranking sorts countries by the number of gold medals earned by their players (in this context a country is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically.
