Interventions

  • Sprint Interval Training (SIT) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will undergo 1:1 therapist supervised SIT for 10 minutes per day, three times per week during IPR using a Monark 881 arm crank ergometer.
  • Usual Care — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will have the opportunity to participate in optional group endurance exercise classes two to three times a week.
  • Home Ergometer (ERGO) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants complete the SIT intervention during IPR and be provided with a consumer-grade ergometer. Study staff will train the participants in the set-up and use of the home ergometer prior to discharge and arrange for take home or delivery.
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants complete the SIT intervention during IPR and be provided with a consumer-grade ergometer. Study staff will train the participants in the set-up and use of the home ergometer prior to discharge and arrange for take home or delivery. These participants will also receive weekly Motivational Interviewing (MI) counseling sessions during IPR plus six post-discharge MI sessions delivered via telehealth to be held over six months.

Study Details

This study will assess the feasibility and efficacy of 3 treatments to increase physical activity during and after inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) for new spinal cord injuries: 1. Program of sprint interval training (SIT) on an arm crank ergometer during IPR 2. SIT + Provision of an arm ergometer (ERGO) for home use 3. SIT + ERGO for home use + Motivational interviewing to increase adherence to exercise during and after IPR. The primary outcome is minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity at 6 months after IPR discharge. Secondary outcomes include peak power on the 6-Minute Arm Test at IPR discharge and self-reported physical activity, depression, fatigue, pain, community participation, and quality of life at 6 months after IPR discharge. The investigators will obtain data on feasibility, acceptability, and perceived benefits of the treatments from stakeholders. The results of this pilot study will inform the design of a larger randomized trial.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Usual Care
    Participant will take part in the usual care during inpatient rehabilitation
  • Experimental: Spring Interval Training (SIT)
    Participant will take part in SIT approximately three times per week during inpatient rehabilitation.
  • Experimental: SIT + ERGO
    Participant will take part in SIT approximately three times per week during inpatient rehabilitation. In addition, participant will be provided with an consumer grade ergometer for home use.
  • Experimental: SIT + ERGO + MI
    Participant will take part in SIT approximately three times per week during inpatient rehabilitation. In addition, participant will be provided with an consumer grade ergometer for home use. The participant will receive Motivational Interviewing sessions with a rehab psychologist one time per week (approximately 4 sessions) during inpatient rehabilitation and one time per month for six months after discharge from the hospital
