Wheelchair Team Uganda: Day 1

We started off our morning with an awesome visit from a couple monkeys while we were eating breakfast! It definitely made our day seeing those monkeys! Then at 7:45am we headed to our first day at the clinic. Naturally, we got lost and the 15 minute walk turned into 35 minutes. Whoops! But we made it and had a great morning fitting three different kids for wheelchairs. After lunch we got to fit three more kids/adolescents with wheelchairs and help them gain new mobility! My team and I filled out lots of Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory outcome measures and it was great to see the improvements they all made in mobility! Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!
