1960–1988 • 1992 • 1996 • 2000 • 2004 • 2008

Pakistan first participated at the Paralympic Games in 1992, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Paralympic Games since then.

Pakistani athletes have so far won a single medal. A silver, coming courtesy of Haider Ali in the Men's Long Jump - F37/38 Event at Beijing 2008 Paralympics. Ali scored the same number of points (1,104) as the gold medal winner, Farhat Chida, from Tunisia. However, Ali had 2 failed attempts, whilst Chida had none, so Chida collected the gold medal. ^[1]

Pakistan will be taking part in the 2012 Summer Paralympics, and the National Paralympic Committee of Pakistan have chosen Bedford as the UK base for its paralympians.^[2]
