  • Development of a Human-Powered Watercraft for People with Lower-Body Disabilities
    University of Verona Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences Development of a human-powered watercraft for people with lower-body disabilities Ph.D. thesis by Thomas Fuglsang Preface This thesis has been submitted to the Graduate School of Life and Health Sciences at the University of Verona in fulfillments of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience, Psychological and Psychiatric Sciences. The project has been supervised by Dr. Luca Paolo Ardigò to whom I express my sincere gratitude for the competent professional guidance and support, which has helped me pursue the scientific goal. I also wish to thank mechanical engineer Massimo Spoladore and cycling coach Michele Dalla Piazza for always being willing to discuss new ideas and solutions to problems. Furthermore, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Lega Navale Italiana Sezione di Brescia e Desenzano and Carlo Rottenbacher, Andrea Cristiani and Maria Rita Gualea from University of Pavia for always showing great hospitality and assistance when needed. Finally, I would like to thank Franco Mazzante, Giuseppe Carignani, Rick Willoughby and the companies Lamar Udine and Maddiline Cycle for their support in developing the watercraft. Copyright © 2018 Thomas Fuglsang This report, or parts of it, may be reproduced without the permission of the author, provided that due reference is given. Abstract Spinal cord injuries (SCI) or other lower-body disabilities can change the life of a person significantly both physically and psychologically. Chapter 1 describes how physical activity is associated with improved physical fitness, health and psychological well-being for people with lower-body disabilities but also that a number of limitations exist to potentially discourage this population from exercising.
