Wheelchair Disabled
Injuries and disabilities of the legs or lower half of body often leave people still willing and able to participate in physical activity, or sport. However, many sports and games that typically involve running or kicking have to be modified to allow wheelchair play. This category contains information and sites about those sports that are played in wheelchairs.
