I am interested in finding out how many calories are burned by a 
paraplegic performing various activities.  This kind of information 
is widely available to those with two good arms and legs (i.e.  400 
calories burned per hour of swimming), etc... but I would like to 
know how many calories are burned for a parapalegic who walks on crutches 
or ambulates in a wheel chair (i.e. calories burned per mile ... etc.). 
 If anyone can steer me in a direction where I might find this info 

I would appreciate it very much.  I am new to this board and am just 
getting the hang of it...It's not like other boards I've logged onto 
so if I make a mistake, please indulge until I get my smarts!  Thanks!
