Summary

The multilevel socio-ecological barriers to physical activity experienced by people with physical disabilities cut across structures and systems, community, institutions and organizations, interpersonal, and individual levels. Several studies have attempted to understand these barriers and facilitators, but to date, no study or system has attempted to systematically resolve these multilevel barriers and capitalize on the potential facilitators that can increase access to exercise and recreation programs, services and facilities for people with disabilities.

In RecTech's previous cycle of funding, this void was addressed in a Proof of Concept product called the Activity Inclusion Mapping System (AIMS). AIMS enabled people with disabilities to quickly and precisely identify accessible and usable community-based physical activity resources and services. Based on the positive feedback received at the annual RESNA conference and from our Consumer Research Advisory Committee (CRAC) during preparation of this application, the investigators propose to develop an innovative person-centered geotagged Social Networking System (SNS) based on the social-ecological model of health.

The focus of this proposed Proof of Product project is to address multilevel barriers and facilitators associated with community-based leisure time physical activity (LTPA) using crowdsourcing principles for gathering data. The project is targeted to all people with physical disabilities.
