RE Oscar Pistorius and his blades, the following appears to be the relevant IAAF regulation. His legal team obviously won his case on the question of "advantage".

For the purpose of this Rule the following shall be considered
assistance, and are therefore not allowed:
(f) use of any technical device that incorporates springs, wheels or
any other element that provides the user with an advantage over
another athlete not using such a device.
(g) use of any appliance that has the effect of increasing the
dimension of a piece of equipment beyond the permitted maximum
in the Rules or that provides the user with an advantage which he
would not have obtained using the equipment specified in the
Rules.
