Playing Ping Pong or table tennis is a fun thing you can enjoy as a wheelchair user. It is a great exercise where not only you get to burn calories, you also get to strengthen your core muscle and improve body coordination. In this video, Nancy shows how she plays this sport and an adaptive tool that helps her pick up ping pong balls from the floor without bending down to the floor each time. The reacher is called “E-Z reacher.” Its hands have a shape that is perfect for picking up ping pong balls from the floor. Nancy’s pro tip is to bring a dozen balls at once so she doesn’t need to pick it up every time it drops on the floor. It makes for a more fun game with fewer pauses for equipment. Watch Nancy hit the winner!
