A dynamic analysis of physical activity barriers experienced by adults with spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To track and evaluate changes in the number and types of physical activity barriers experienced by adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) in response to a physical activity counselling intervention, using a newly-developed tracking and coding method.

Design

A secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial of a physical activity behavioural intervention (#NCT03111030).

Setting

General community.

Participants

Adults with chronic SCI (n = 14).

Intervention

An introductory behavioural coaching session followed by eight, weekly follow-up sessions were delivered in-person or by phone/video call. The interventionist utilized behaviour-change techniques tailored to individual participants' readiness for change, barriers, and preferences.
