City-based running group helps set up an adapted sports lab at NIEPMD
If you know of anyone with Cerebral Plasy (CP) who wants to improve their gait, walkability and wheelchair mobility, then guide them to the National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Multiple Disabilities (NIEPMD) at Muthukad on East Coast Road. The Institute got an adapted sports lab for children with CP and other multiple disabilities, thanks to over 700 running enthusiasts and many other well-wishers from Inner Strength Trust. The lab, which was opened to coincide with Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, promises to be a place where those with disabilities can play football, carrom board, basketball, portable goal poll and other games that will help improve hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity.More Related News
