With this in mind, it’s crazy to think that this demographic never seems to be included in the current fitness trends and technologies. So let us know if you or someone you know would be interested in taking part in the study? Because without the views of those who have experience in handling or using a wheelchair, this study will not be able to progress to its full potential. Simply get in touch via the links listed below!
The study is being lead by Marilyn Bradbury and is part of her Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship, funded by the National Institute of Health Research. She explains what inspired her to start the project:
“Whilst working with young people with disabilities in the community as a paediatric physiotherapist, I’ve always worked with them and their families to maximise the time they are able to move around for each day. However, when they are in busy home, educational or work environments, it can be difficult for young people and those who support them to focus on that.I hope that the tool we are designing together will help them to find more opportunities to move more and enjoy making the most of them.”
