Tele-exercise in individuals with spinal cord injury: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has seen the emergence of tele-exercise as a mean of remotely providing physical activity. This is particularly crucial given that individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), often engage in lower levels of physical activity due to barriers such as transportation issues and financial limitations. Given the potential the tele-exercise for individuals with SCI, this study aims to characterize research on tele-exercise interventions in this population focusing on the approach (synchronous, asynchronous, or hybrid), platform, intervention details, duration, adherence, outcomes, and improvements.

Methods

A review was conducted using the Embase, Scopus, and PubMed databases, adhering to the PRISMA reporting checklist. Stud
