Winter sports for wheelchair users

W. KuhnA. Deville

pp. 115-118

Abstract

In Winter more and more men and women can be seen exchanging their wheel chairs for specially adapted sport equipment for cross-country and downhill skiing. One wonders why wheelchair users only recently discovered how to practice winter sports since skiing has been popular since the beginning of this century in Switzerland.
