Objectives Adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) are often sedentary, increasing their risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Leisure-time Physical Activity (LTPA) is physical activity completed during recreation time for enjoyment. We aimed to quantify LTPA in people ≥45 years SCI and explore its relationship participants’ characteristics. Methods This a secondary analysis on subset the Australian International Survey participants years, at least 12 months post-injury. described levels used multivariable regressions estimate associations between participant characteristics LTPA. Results Of 1,281 (mean age: 62.7 mean since injury: 18.7 years; 74% males) 44% reported no participation The average was 197 (SD 352) minutes per week (median: 50). Females (β = −62.3, 95% CI [−112.9, −11.7]), non-traumatic injuries −105.2, [−165.9, −44.6]) performed less Time not associated moderate-to-heavy (LR: Probability > F 0.785). Conclusion promotion population focusing females warranted.

Objective Parkwood VIP4SCI platform is a virtual e-health solution adapted from version created for Spinal Cord Injury Ontario (SCIO) that focused on self-management skill development persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) transitioning between stages of care, in partnership caregivers and clinicians. This evaluation the informs usability feasibility model to facilitate service care aims postrehabilitation. Design Participants: Inpatients outpatients admitted SCI Rehabilitation Program (n = 31), mix interdisciplinary clinicians Team 20). Caregivers participated at discretion patient. Interventions: were randomized into two groups (Platform or Standard Care (i.e., delayed access)). Outpatients given access enrollment. Pre–post assessments completed using surveys, analytics collected. Weekly check-ins introduced increase engagement. Focus held subset participants near study completion. Results was viewed as usable feasible. Platform satisfaction assessed −3 +3 scale ranged +0.9 2.5, demonstrating positive agreement. Self-efficacy related 5.4 7.6 out 10. The educational resource hub identified most beneficial feature. Lack clinician uptake barrier integration day-to-day practice. Conclusions usage low among all despite perceived need facilitating coordination consistent intentional programming. Despite lack uptake, partly due challenges associated pandemic, conclusions features barriers implementation will help inform future
