View Award Description

RERC on Exercise and Recreational Technologies for People with Disabilities - The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Lakeshore Foundation propose a set of research and development (R&D) projects that span across the socio-ecological model from community to clinic to address a multilevel set of barriers to participation in healthful exercise and recreation among adults with physical disabilities. Six areas of R&D include: (1) a precision-based decision support tool to improve quality of exercise and recreation recommendations and outcomes; (2) advancement of a wheelchair accessible active video gaming controller to expand game play among users with physical disabilities; (3) final development of an exercise device that allows single-to-multiple limb loading in engaging virtual exercise environments; (4) a crowdsourcing platform for building accessible community-based exercise and recreation resources; (5) an eHealth teleexercise platform for increasing exercise among adults with spinal cord injury (SCI); and (6) a mixed methods study examining barriers and facilitators associated with adoption of universal design of fitness equipment (UDFE) standards by manufacturers and fitness facility managers. Training initiatives involve undergraduate and graduate level training in exercise/recreational technologies targeting engineering, exercise science and rehabilitation science students. Dissemination includes presentations at engineering and rehabilitation conferences, publications in high-impact peer reviewed journals, press releases, websites, and faculty presentations. Anticipated outcomes include a set of hardware and software products that will improve health, function and quality of life among people with physical disabilities. A secondary outcome is to ensure dissemination of these products and tools reach an array of stakeholders, including people with disabilities, caregivers, rehabilitation and exercise science researchers, and rehabilitation and exercise professionals, who can use them in their re spective communities and professions.
