Sports are continuing to expand for people with
disabilities. Because more disabled people are eager to get involved, access
and variety are continuing to increase. A new bike was designed specifically
for a 13-year-old boy Josh Silvern to overcome his disability with balance.
The new bike is extremely stable because of the wheels and
its accommodating seat promises the individual to be at a high degree of
independence and mobility that has been impossible before.
This new bicycle that is designed for better balance is a
Hallmark in the movement to help disabled people to be physically active. Wheelchair
basketball is one of the many sports available for disabled people that have
been modified with equipment so that disabled people can experience the sport.
The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability
leads in research and advocacy for the field. Also, the Americans With
Disabilities Act is working on improving access but not all sports facilities
are cooperating and complying with the guidelines that have been set.
