Dynamic Earth is fully wheelchair accessible, with ramp access up to the entrance of the building and lifts throughout to navigate through the exhibition, and to gain access to and from the car park. Additionally, we have disabled toilet facilities on both sides of the building, which include handle rails and wide door access. For hard-of-sight visitors we offer additional information about the exhibits on show. For hard-of-hearing visitors we offer transcripts in English. We permit assistance dogs in all areas of the attraction, however we would advise that some of the galleries have loud noises and flashing lights within them. Please note that we do operate strobe lighting within some of the galleries, which could affect epilepsy sufferers.
Our guides are aware of all of these areas and can assist and advise visitors of their presence. As well as these specific facilities, the Dynamic Earth attraction consists of outstanding visuals, dramatic sound effects, spectacular music, evocative smells and amazing physical sensations which allow a multi-sensory experience for all.Epub 2013 Aug 19.van der Linden ML1, Bulley C, Geneen LJ, Hooper JE, Cowan P, Mercer TH.Author information1Rehabilitation Sciences, School of Health Sciences, Queen Margaret University , Edinburgh , UK .AbstractPURPOSE: This mixed methods study aimed to explore the feasibility, efficacy and the participants' experiences of a Pilates programme for people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) who use a wheelchair.METHOD: Fifteen pwMS took part in the 12-week Pilates programme. At baseline and after 6 and 12 weeks of the programme, sitting stability, measured as maximum progression of the Centre of Pressure when leaning sideways (COPmax), posture, pain on a Visual Analogue Scale, function, fatigue and the impact of MS (MSIS29) were assessed.
Ten participants took part in two focus groups within six weeks of the completion of the programme.RESULTS: Significant improvements at the 12-week assessment were found in COPmax (p = 0.046), sitting posture (p = 0.004), pain in the shoulders (p = 0.005) and back (p = 0.005) and MSIS29 (p = 0.006). The majority of participants described various physical, functional, psychological and social benefits from participation that reflected increased confidence in activities of daily living. Enjoyment of the classes was expressed by all, and most wished to continue participation.CONCLUSIONS: Pilates appears to be efficacious in improving sitting stability and posture and decreasing pain and was also well tolerated by wheelchair users with MS. Further mixed methods studies are warranted.wheelchairPMID: 23957639 DOI: 10.3109/09638288.2013.824035 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Publication TypesResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tMeSH TermsActivities of Daily LivingAdultExercise Movement Techniques*/methodsExercise Movement Techniques*/psychologyFeasibility StudiesFemaleFocus GroupsHumansMaleMiddle AgedMultiple Sclerosis*/physiopathologyMultiple Sclerosis*/rehabilitationPain MeasurementPatient PreferenceTreatment OutcomeWheelchairs*Full Text SourcesTaylor & FrancisMedicalMultiple Sclerosis - Genetic AllianceMultiple Sclerosis - MedlinePlus Health Information
