Using an Adaptive Rower for People Using Motorized Wheelchairs

Description

The goal of this clinical trial are to determine the feasibility and impact of an adaptive rower exercise intervention for adults who use motorized wheelchairs for mobility. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. What is the impact on participant's cardiovascular endurance, and perception of mobility and quality of life? 2. Is the intervention feasible, acceptable and safe? examine feasibility of the adaptive rower intervention through measures of acceptability, adherence, intensity and safety for adults who use motorized wheelchairs for mobility. Participants will complete 12 sessions of 10-20 minutes of supervised and coached moderate to vigorous activity using the adaptive rower over a seven week period. Participants will complete pre- and post- outcome assessments of cardiovascular fitness, and outcome surveys,
