The aim of this research project is to develop a virtual reality weight management intervention for women with mobility impairments. The program will mostly focus on diet and nutrition and will address barriers that women with mobility impairments face when preparing foods, such as the use of their arms and their ability to stand up. The program will also provide information about physical activity, such as advisable types of exercise for women with mobility impairments.
