We are looking for anyone with an ambulatory disability that requires them to use a manual wheelchair for part of their day. We want you to help us learn more about a brand-new method of pushing your wheelchair! This method involves pulling on the wheels rather than pushing them! If you are interested in improving the current state of the wheelchair then please get in contact with us!
Participating will involve propelling a manual wheelchair through a set of simple maneuvers. Participants will be paid with a $25 amazon gift card. If you are at all interested, or to recieve more information/full flyer about the project, please contact me or Professor Krystyna Gielo-Perczak, who is overseeing this project. Our contact information is seen below.
