Feasibility and initial efficacy of a wheelchair exercise-training intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis (open access)

Feasibility and initial efficacy of a wheelchair exercise-training intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis

Data management plan for the grant "Feasibility and initial efficacy of a wheelchair exercise-training intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis." The proposed study will examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of a stakeholder-informed, home-based, remotely supported and supervised exercise training program for wheelchair users with multiple sclerosis (MS). The proposed exercise training program was iteratively developed in partnership with community members using semi-structured interviews, a community advisory board, and focus group feedback wherein community members provided insights to develop and refine an exercise training program that suit the needs and preferences of wheelchair users with MS. Ultimately, the proposed study extends this line of research and may initiate a significant paradigm shift in rehabilitation research and practice by providing a critically needed home-based exercise training program for enhancing health, quality of life, participation, and independence of wheelchair user with MS.

Geometry, groceries, and gardens: Learning mathematics and social justice through a nested, equity-directed instructional approach

Authors of the article addressed the call for explorations of how BIPOC students’ “experiences in secondary mathematics classrooms might advance transformative, equity-focused, pedagogical models” by exploring how a nested, equity-directed approach created different kinds of opportunities for students to take up, shift, or resist what it means to teach, learn, and do mathematics. Specifically, authors looked at efforts to engage equity-directed dominant and critical approaches through a series of three mathematics projects aimed at investigating food insecurity as a social (in)justice issue using geometry.
