Cycle Exercise in Wheelchair Users With Muscular Dystrophy or Cerebral Palsy

Denmark33 participantsStarted 2021-06-01

Plain-language summary

Wheelchair bound patients often have pain in lower back and glutes, constipation and reduced quality of life - symptoms that exercise might ameliorate. However, in wheelchair bound patients with muscular dystrophies and cerebral palsy only very little research is done on exercise. We thus wish to investigate effects of cycle exercise in wheelchair bound patients with muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy.
