The Men's 100 metres T52 event at the 2012 Summer Paralympics took place at the London Olympic Stadium on 2 September.
The T52 category is for wheelchair athletes with damage to spinal cord in the higher parts of the back, substantially impaired or no trunk function, and minimal or no leg function. Pushing power comes from elbow extensions, and appears close to normal except for use of modified gloves to compensate for grip.
