Summary

The project aims to test the feasibility of a new digital (mHealth) physical activity support program, delivered through an innovative mHealth platform (Curatio) for individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) who walk. The rationale for this project is to understand whether a mHealth intervention for increasing the amount and quality of physical activity is feasible for individuals with SCI who walk. The plan is to assess engagement, acceptability and feasibility in addition to primary outcomes related to physical activity behaviour. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will be feasible and acceptable to deliver to individuals with SCI who walk. The investigators also hypothesize that the intervention will be engaging but recommendations will be made by participants following the study. Finally, it is hypothesized that compared with individuals in the wait-list control group, individuals in the intervention group will experience the following improvements related to exercise after 8-weeks: fulfillment of basic psychological needs, greater autonomous motivation, have enhanced social support, better action control, improved facilitators for behaviour change, more leisure-time physical activity, better quality participation, and enhanced employment.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

DEVICE

SCI Step Together

The 8-week program features weekly blocks of content. Each week builds from the previous week and targets specific components related to the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, relatedness, competence). The overall cadence of each weekly block is maintained throughout. For example, each week contains: 1) education modules 2) a worksheet or guided practice to apply the strategies in their own goals for that week along with embedded questions to discuss with their community coach 3) behavioural support from the community coach and 4) peer support from the discussion group.
