ALT A UCL master’s study about smartphone accessibility for individuals with spinal cord injuries by the MSc of Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technologies. The study has been approved by the UCL Research Ethics Committee. We are seeking to identify the challenges faced by people with a spinal cord injury when using their smartphones to then improve the user experience. You can virtually participate in the study by either completing our online questionnaire which is about 15 minutes and/or taking part in our interview which is about 1 hour long. You can sign up by visiting our website which can be found using the link in our bio.

A #SpinalCordInjury is damage to the thick bundle of nerves that travel down your neck and back. It sends and receives messages between the brain and the body. These messages can mostly be divided into two systems: the somatic nervous system & the autonomic nervous system.
