Technology Opens Up a World of Outdoor Recreation for Disabled

from The Scope

The ADA became law in 1990 to ensure equal access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities. With that spirit in mind, scientists, researchers and physicians use technology to create devices that expand that access further than anyone could have imagined 25 years ago. Dr. Richard Kendall from University of Utah Health Care talks about how the TRAILS program’s sip & puff kayaks, robot legs, Bluetooth knees and other amazing inventions impact the lives of people disabled with spinal cord injuries by opening up a new world of recreation.
