dc.description.abstract | Background: A spinal cord injury is a devastating condition, associated with permanent
disability and decreased life expectancy. Persons with spinal cord injuries (PwSCIs) often lead
sedentary lifestyles, which set in motion a cascade of comorbidities linked to lifestyle
behaviours. There is growing evidence indicating that decreasing sedentary behaviour and
improving physical activity (PA) are connected to favourable rehabilitation outcomes namely
health status and physical functioning. There is paucity of evidence to support this postulation
in our setting. | en_US |
