Brief Summary: The goal of this feasibility study is to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week online rehabilitation programme in people with Spinal Cord Injury during the transition from hospital to home
The main questions it aims to answer are
What is the feasibility of an online rehabilitation programme to support physical activity adherence in people with spinal cord injury following discharge into the community How effective is an online rehabilitation programme to enhance functional capacity physical activity and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury following discharge into the community
Participants will be given a personalised online rehabilitation programme to complete two times a week It will consist of a warm up two exercise components cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength and a cool down
Detailed Description: Bridging the gap between the inpatient setting to the home environment is essential to promote Physical Activity PA adherence improve functional independence and enhance quality of life by implementing lifelong exercise habits To our knowledge no study has investigated the feasibility of an online rehabilitation programme among sub-acute Spinal Cord Injury SCI patients during this important discharge period from hospital to home Therefore this study will explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week online rehabilitation programme in people with SCI during the transition from hospital to home
All subacute inpatients who are undergoing their first episode of inpatient rehabilitation post SCI at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit QENSIU who fulfil the inclusion criteria will be invited to take part in the current study A rehabilitation programme will be prescribed individually for each participant Each programme will align with the current PA guidelines for adults with SCI and will be tailored to the participants ability Participants will be advised to complete the programme twice per week It will consist of 20 mins cardiorespiratory followed by a strengthening session Therefore the participants will engage in the programme for roughly 40 minutes twice per week The participants will be instructed to log all completed sessions in an online diary so adherence and duration of PA can be monitored
Assessment will consist of 4 phases two in person assessments at baseline and 6 weeks post discharge and two remote online assessments at 2 and 12 weeks post discharge Each assessment will consist of quantitative outcome measures Additionally a subset of the study sample will take part in a qualitative structured video interview at the end of their intervention period
