Pilot Study of a Sedentary Behaviour Intervention for Individuals With a Spinal Cord Injury

The REACH-SCI intervention was co-designed with key stakeholders and aims to reduce and break up sedentary behaviour in individuals with paraplegia. The intervention will last eight weeks and involve (1) a wearable activity tracker to give reminders to break up sedentary behaviour, (2) education around what sedentary behaviour is, how to reduce and break up sedentary behaviour, and the benefits of doing so, (3) a goal setting worksheet related to sedentary behaviour, (4) one-to-one motivational support sessions to help set goals, review progress and give motivation, (5) peer support using a smartphone app, and (6) activity tools to support breaking up sedentary behaviour throughout the day.
