Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is designed is to test the feasibility, fidelity, and effectiveness of scaling up an evidence- and theory-based virtually delivered physical activity intervention (WOWii) for individuals living with chronic SCI for delivery through other rehabilitation settings. The study outcomes address (1) feasibility based on participant enrollment, retention, and program engagement; (2) fidelity of intervention delivery; and (3) program effectiveness based on subjective and objective exercise data, and participant exercise perceptions regarding self-efficacy and barriers.
