Summary
This study will develop and test a home-based upper arm exercise bike that works with video instruction and virtual reality apps, designed specifically for wheelchair users. Ten veterans who use wheelchairs will try the system for several weeks. The goal is to see if they find it satisfying and stick with it, which could help overcome common barriers to exercise like lack of transportation and motivation.
