Cox Alexandra Stein will be joined by Dorian Weber, Andrew Johnson, Eleni Englert and Emma Preuschl, who won a silver at Beijing 2008.

Stein, Johnson, Englert and Preuschl finished sixth in last year's World Rowing Championships at Lake Bled in Slovenia (pictured above), and aim to improve on that performance this summer.

Crew selection was made by US adaptive rowing coach Karen Lewis after analysing training camp performances and line up evaluations.

There will be a total of three crews representing the US in London.

Ron Harvey will compete in the men's arms and shoulders single sculls, while Rob Jones and Oksana Masters will battle it out in the trunk and arms mixed double sculls.

Harvey has previoulsy won three medals at World Championship events and competed in Beijing four year's ago.

The US won two medals at the last Paralympics, with Preuschl's medal coming alongside the silver secured by Tracy Tackett, Jesse Karmazin, Jamie Dean and Simona Chin – the legs, trunk and arms mixed four with coxswain crew.
