CP exercise device

March 2017 in Cerebral Palsy

Hello,

I am working with a group of students at Johns Hopkins University on a design project to help individuals with Cerebral Palsy exercise. The idea would involve a harness system, in home, that is set up in any doorframe and would provide support for users to exercise on things like treadmills/ellipticals. This device would be for children and young adults. Do you believe this would be a device you or your child would be interested in using? Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
