Usability of the Adapted Rower for People With Spinal Cord Injury

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine usability of a locally built adaptive rower for people with spinal cord injury using an established and tested design. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What exercise intensity of activity do users achieve on the rower for steady state and interval rowing plans? 2. What assistance is required for setup and usage of the adaptive rower? 3. What do users think about the ease of use and what is their satisfaction with the adaptive rower? Participants will complete a one-time exercise session with two adaptive rower bouts (10-15 minutes each) with a rest period in between.
