Abstract: This study explores how para-athletes adapt their biomechanics to optimize sports performance despite prosthetic constraints. Using a case study approach, we conducted semi-structured interviews with sports coaches to identify key movement modifications and the gaps in current prosthetic technology. Findings highlight the need for adaptive prosthetic designs informed by user-driven compensatory strategies. By integrating these insights into prosthetic development, sports training, and coaching methodologies, this research aims to enhance performance, reduce injury risks, and support greater participation in sports among prosthetic users
