Volunteers Needed...

We have been asked for help from one of our wonderful projects. Rehab Rhythm is an exciting project based at Newcastle University. The project aims to use a gaming approach to strengthen residual pathways through repetitive movement. The project is looking for volunteers living with SCI to participate in their research. The team are planning to run at three sites, in Newcastle, Bristol and Gatwick, so they can recruit from a fairly wide geographical base. If you would be interested in participating in this research or know someone who may be interested, please contact:

Lillian.Clements@ncl.ac.uk or call: 07951 202024 to find out more. Please take a look at the flier for more information.
