Researchers at UBC have partnered with RAD Society with the aim of designing outdoor programs to encourage outdoor recreational activity for individuals with mobility impairments. The purpose of this study is to understand the needs, interests, and challenges of individuals with mobility impairment regarding outdoor recreational activity and the development of a recreational adaptive device loan program.
Why should you participate in this study?
By understanding the needs of individuals with mobility impairments, we will open a GearBox, a low-barrier storage facility to share adaptive recreational devices at a nominal fee to individuals with mobility impairments.
