I work at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago's
Center for Health and Fitness as an exercise
physiologist. This is a fully accessible, free
fitness facility for all individuals with a physical
disability. Needless to say, I've seen a lot of
orthotics and prosthetics put to good use! At times
we make a lot of crazy adaptations in order for our
participants to get the most out of a piece of
exercise equipment. I was wondering if anyone in this
field works specifically with making adaptations for
the more active disabled population. It seems there
is so much that can be done and I think this would be
an amazing career to pursue. I apologize in advance
for my lack of education in this area if the answer to
this question is obvious :) Thanks so much for your
time!
