Assistive Technology to Promote Participation in Sport for People with Disabilities.

Unlabelled: Participation in sports is identified in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a fundamental right and is facilitated by the use of specialized Assistive Products (AP). However, little is known about the role everyday AP plays in promoting sport participation.

Purpose: This study explores how the 50 priority APs on the World Health Organization's Assistive Products List can promote participation in sports.

Improving Communication of Information About Physical Activity Opportunities for People With Disabilities.

One significant barrier to physical activity (PA) for people with disabilities is the lack of access to PA information. The purpose of this study was to explore how access to PA information can be improved for people with disabilities, their carers, and PA-session facilitators. To investigate the flow of PA information within a communication network, principles derived from knowledge translation were used: information audiences, messengers, methods, and effectiveness.
