Tele-Exercise to Promote Empowered Movement in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury (NCT07022808)
Tele-Exercise to Promote Empowered Movement in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury, TEEMS
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
To achieve our specific aims and hypotheses we will conduct a parallel group mixed methods randomized control trial comparing participation in the TEEMS program with exercise via asynchronous video library equivalent (control). The use of mixed methods will allow for the integration of quantitative findings with the qualitative, lived perspective of participants to provide a comprehensive analysis of the tele-exercise program outcomes. All aspects of the study from recruitment, screening, data collection, tele-exercise delivery and team meetings will be virtual to promote access and inclusion by removing barriers and promoting engagement. This study will compare our live group TEEMS program with individual pre-recorded exercise videos. We created TEEMS with the intention of maximizing exercise independence for participants, which decreases need for caregivers during physical activity. The design and participation in TEEMS is meant to increase personal factors that facilitate participation in exercise. These personal factors include confidence and positive associations with exercise. When these personal factors are targeted, individuals with SCI are more likely to participate in physical activity, which supports overall health and QoL.
