What is the best resource to get information on training a client in a wheelchair?
Hi John,
There is a lot of information online, but here are some links which might help you with your search:
http://www.disabled-world.com/fitness/exercise/wheelchair-exercises.php
http://www.helpguide.org/life/workouts_exercise_overweight_disabled.htm
http://www.mobility-advisor.com/wheelchair-sports-activities.html
I hope this helps.
Best,
Harris
Hi John,
You might consider asking your client what they want to work on, or maybe what you would want to work on if you were in a wheelchair. Sometimes we mistakenly assume that exercises have to be different in a wheelchair, and of to some extent they do, but a leg press is a leg press, a chest press is a chest press, a row is a row. We are not as limited as we allow ourselves to think we are.
