Project Description:

This proposed project aims to acquire, demonstrate, and lend frame runners, specialized supportive devices, to individuals with paralysis, spinal cord injuries, stroke, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and mobility or balance challenges. Frame runners have demonstrated significant benefits, including enhanced mobility, strength, independence, socialization, and overall quality of life for both children and adults with disabilities. We will purchase eight frame runners of varying sizes for demonstration and lending over a four-week period to benefit individuals with disabilities. The project will additionally facilitate frame runner clinics to ensure individuals receive necessary training for their use.
