Brief summary (from the registry)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurological disorder that leads to "partial or complete loss of people's motor and/ or sensory function below the level of the injury". The PPI intervention group participants will indicate significantly greater improvements when compared with those in control group in the minutes of performing the moderate-to-rigorous physical activity, depression, chronic pain and mindfulness skills and quality of life at post-intervention, and three months follow-up. The use of psychological motivational interviewing and online face-to-face meetings will be good modalities for the people with SCI to overcome the barriers of not having face-to-face interactions and transportation problems. And the intervention would be feasible and improve SCI people's physical inactivity, depression and chronic pain as to step up the control of the modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases.
