Question

I work at a residential care facility and I have looked everywhere for a couple of exercises I can do with wheelchair-bound patients. Anything you can suggest would be great.

Answer

Wheelchair exercise will help increase strength, flexibility, and muscle-tone, aid mobility and self-esteem, help control weight and aid digestion. Many people in wheelchairs still have the upper-body strength required for exercise. Wheelchair exercise will also help alleviate the shoulder, neck and back strain that wheelchair users often experience.
