Official title Using Smartphones to Improve Physical Activity Levels of Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05317832
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The overarching goal of this research study is to evaluate a sensor-enabled, just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) strategy to increase and sustain physical activity levels among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in their communities. A primary objective of this study is to evaluate the integration of a JITAI with a web-based physical activity intervention program.
