Adaptive XC Skiing And Double Poling Ergometry
Vol.7,No.3(2013)
Wheelchair users and cross-country skiing used to be a rare association in the Czech Republic – especially because of its difficulty and the combination of unsatisfactory equipment and the poor track location. Nowadays the ski tracks are well prepared in many places in our country, also the special equipment – sledge construction with seat matches the standard ski binding and skis. Ski simulators is an inside alternative. The movement is possible due to upper limbs bimanual locomotion and residual muscles of the trunk. It is good to try activating muscles that tend to grow weaker in ordinary life and by contrast reduce the activity of overloaded muscles. The ski simulator allows complex motoric activity that increases the fitness level influencing the ADL (activity of daily living). Cross country skiing for handicapped people can be understood as another possibility on how to improve fitness abilities, compensatory locomotion and one of the fewer activities that can be done during winter and in addition, help people experience nature and experience inaccessible places at the same time.
