Get the right equipment

If customised equipment is needed, Dr Gaj will collaborate with your provider. For example, collaboration with a podiatrist achieved an orthotic built into a sneaker, so that the teenager could participate in hip-hop dancing and look the part.

Race Running is a relatively new sport in Australia, although it has been very successful in Europe for decades. The Race Runner is specialised equipment that allows someone with a physical impairment to achieve self-propelled mobility. It enables the sensation of running, which many children (and adults) greatly enjoy. Dr Gaj is currently working with a team to establish Race Running in Queensland.
