Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Disability Studies
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Growing interest exists in health promotion for individuals with disabilities.
  • Evidence for community-based interventions promoting physical activity among wheelchair users is limited.
  • This study addresses the need for effective exercise interventions in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating a multi-component behavioral intervention for wheelchair users.
  • To assess the intervention's effectiveness in promoting exercise adoption and maintenance.
  • To examine the intervention's physical and psychosocial effects and influencing factors.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was employed.
  • Participants were randomized into a staff-supported intervention group or a self-guided comparison group.
  • The primary outcome was self-reported weekly exercise over 52 weeks; secondary outcomes included physiological, disability-related, and psychosocial measures.

Main Results:

  • The study is designed to provide evidence on the effectiveness of the intervention.
  • Data on participant characteristics at baseline are described.
  • The study will yield insights into the intervention's impact on physical activity and related outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • This RCT will offer crucial evidence on a multi-component behavioral intervention for promoting exercise in wheelchair users.
  • Findings will inform the development of targeted health promotion strategies for people with mobility impairments.
  • The study contributes to understanding how to foster sustained physical activity in this population.
