[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2061411, member: 6467"] Starting a new thread after seeing a couple of posts where people with knee problems said that they couldn't exercise because they were in a wheelchair. Having seen wheelchair users participate in any number of sports, including the London Marathon, I thought that a wheelchair should allow you to get out and about and do lots of upper body exercise. In turn, this made me wonder if people were using electric wheelchairs or relying on someone else to push them. This is just me being curious. There is probably a whole different thread about seated exercise, including lifting small weights and Yoga. [/QUOTE]
