Comparison of Two Park-Based Activities on Emotional Well-Being in Adults With Mobility Impairments
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Mobility Limitation, Physical Disability
In brief
This study will examine the impact of a 10-week crossover urban park intervention on the emotional well-being of people with mobility impairments. Outcomes between 5 weeks of sensory engagement activity (i.e., enjoy sights, sounds; primarily sedentary) and 5 weeks of physical activity (i.e., wheeling/walking on trail) while in the park will be compared.
