  1. Secondary conditions Secondary conitdions DECREASED Physical activity functional limitations Physical inactivity Post-Rehab Physical Activity Functional limitations REDUCED or DELAYED INCREASED Capacity Decreased capacity INCREASED Inclusive Fitness Initiative RERC on Recreational Technologies and Exercise Physiology Benefiting Persons with Disabilities RecTech II: Technology for a Healthier Lifestyle Physical Inactivity and Onset of Secondary Conditions Challenges: • Physical activity is significantly lower in disabled populations. • Closing the gap between acute rehab and community exercise. • Technology and “convenience” items reduce energy expenditure. • Unemployment rate for working age people with disabilities is more than triple that for non-disabled people. Healthy, Active Lifestyles FOR ALL Barriers to Physical Activity Make it More Difficult for People with Disabilities to Reach their Goal Enable the Environment Empower the Person A Ramp Metaphor for an R&D Agenda in Physical Activity and Disability • Pathways to Physical Activity • Enable the environment • Empower the person Improve Physiological and Psychological Health Promote Adherence Increase Participation Provide Access Research Projects: R1. Biomechanical Validation and Efficacy of a Universally Designed Accessory Unit R2. Utility of Common Activity Monitoring Devices in Measuring Energy Expenditure R3. Development of a Computerized Adaptive Version of AIMFREE Demonstration Projects: D1. Use of Virtual Exercise Environments D2. Remote Exercise and Game Architecture Language (REGAL) D3. Universal Design of Cardiovascular and Strength Fitness Equipment D4. Develop of Uniform Standards for Accessible Fitness Equipment D5. Online RecTech Solutions Wiki Training Projects: T1. Infusion of Rehabilitation Engineering in the Curriculum T2. Student Innovation and Design Competition T3. ACSM Distance Learning Certification T4. Inclusive Fitness Training Workshop Collaborators: Beneficial Designs
