The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of a community-based exercise intervention (CBEI) for persons with spinal cord injury (PwSCI) on physiological and psychological well-being and identify barriers and facilitators to implementation.
People with spinal cord injury (PwSCI) are at a greater risk for major health conditions and poorer health outcomes than the population without spinal cord injury. For PwSCI, habitual exercise is critical for both physiological and psychological well-being. Prior research indicates that exercise programs conducted in a controlled setting have positive effects on the physical and psychosocial fitness of PwSCI, but the efficacy and feasibility of these programs are not well understood in community-based settings. The proposed project aims to examine potential health benefits in response to the intervention and identify the barriers and facilitators to successful implementation of a CBEI in PwSCI. The long-term goal of this research is to improve health outcomes of PwSCI by identifying strategies to promote health and support exercise in the community.
The project research aims are to:
A single-blind pilot RCT will be conducted. Forty individuals with SCI will be recruited. Each participant will be randomized into either a 12-week CBEI (n=20) or an education control group (n=20). Participants' cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, metabolic blood chemistries and strength will be assessed pre- (T1) and post- (T2) intervention.

| Community-based Exercise Intervention group (CBE) | Behavioral | The CBEI group will receive 36 (60-90 minute) one-on-one, formally directed exercise sessions by trained staff over 12 weeks. By the end the goal is to have the participants guiding their own regimens. Personalized sessions will be created for each participant based on their fitness goal(s) and preferences. Each session will include vitals, pain assessment, warm-up, stretching, cardiovascular, and strength exercises and cool-down. The participants will be monitored to ensure they are achieving at least 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise 3 times a week. Activity monitors will also be worn to capture intensity data. At the end of each session, participants will describe their likes and dislike as well as what they gained and what they suggest for improvement. At the end of each session, the trainer will rate the participant's perceived participation during the session (1-6) using the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| VO2 Peak - Cardiorespiratory Fitness Change (Peak Oxygen Consumption Change) | VO2 peak will be measured using a standard computer-integrated, open-circuit, breath-by-breath metabolic measurement system (TrueOne 2400, Parvo Medics, Sandy UT) while the participant performs a graded-exercise test on an arm crank ergometer (SCIFIT PRO2, Life Fitness, Tulsa, OK). The protocol involves a 3-minute warm-up followed by a standard ramp protocol which is typically completed in 8-12 minutes. | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post intervention |
| DEXA - Body Composition Overall Body Fat % Change | Participants will then undergo body composition assessment via DEXA (General Electric Lunar iDXA), which is commonly used in research due to its precision and safety. Body fat % will be the unit of measure. | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post intervention |
| Metabolic Blood Chemistries - HbA1c Level Change | Blood draws will be completed to measure HbA1c levels in %. Participants will fast 8-10 hours prior to blood draw. | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post intervention |
| Metabolic Blood Chemistries - Cholesterol Change | Blood draws will be completed to measure cholesterol levels. Unit of measure will be in mg/dL. Participants will fast 8-10 hours prior to blood draw. | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post interventions |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Extremity Strength - Upper Body Strength Change | Strength will be measured via isotonic 1RM testing unilaterally on four upper-extremity exercises (chest press, back row, rickshaw, biceps flexion) using a BTE™ PrimusRS (BTE™, Hanover, MD). Data was organized into one single strength variable by summing the 4 left side upper extremity exercises together, then summing the 4 right side upper extremity exercises together, and finally taking those 2 totals (from left side and right side) and summing them into one strength variable. A higher number indicates more strength. The BTE™ PrimusRS uses an inch-pound (the torque of one pound of force applied to one inch of distance from the pivot) as it's unit of measurement. |

| Community-based Exercise Intervention Group (CBEI) |
A group performing a 12-week guided exercise program at an accessible community health and wellness center Community-based Exercise Intervention group (CBE): The CBEI group will receive 36 (60-90 minute) one-on-one, formally directed exercise sessions by trained staff over 12 weeks. By the end the goal is to have the participants guiding their own regimens. Personalized sessions will be created for each participant based on their fitness goal(s) and preferences. Each session will include vitals, pain assessment, warm-up, stretching, cardiovascular, and strength exercises and cool-down. The participants will be monitored to ensure they are achieving at least 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise 3 times a week. Activity monitors will also be worn to capture intensity data. At the end of each session, participants will describe their likes and dislike as well as what they gained and what they suggest for improvement. At the end of each session, the trainer will rate the participant's perceived participation during the session (1-6) using the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale. |

| Primary | DEXA - Body Composition Overall Body Fat % Change | Participants will then undergo body composition assessment via DEXA (General Electric Lunar iDXA), which is commonly used in research due to its precision and safety. Body fat % will be the unit of measure. | Only 2 participants (both from the CBEI group) were able to complete this outcome measure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research project was considered non-essential and therefore the services to conduct these assessments were shut down and not available. | Posted | Mean | Standard Error | percentage of body fat | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post intervention |

| Secondary | Upper Extremity Strength - Upper Body Strength Change | Strength will be measured via isotonic 1RM testing unilaterally on four upper-extremity exercises (chest press, back row, rickshaw, biceps flexion) using a BTE™ PrimusRS (BTE™, Hanover, MD). Data was organized into one single strength variable by summing the 4 left side upper extremity exercises together, then summing the 4 right side upper extremity exercises together, and finally taking those 2 totals (from left side and right side) and summing them into one strength variable. A higher number indicates more strength. The BTE™ PrimusRS uses an inch-pound (the torque of one pound of force applied to one inch of distance from the pivot) as it's unit of measurement. | 1 participant from the Excercise Education Control group (EEG) was unable to do the PRE upper extremity strength measure at baseline. | Posted | Mean | Standard Error | inch-pound | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post intervention |

| Secondary | PROMIS - Fatigue Short Form 8a | Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue - assesses a range of self-reported fatigue symptoms over the past 7 days. PROMIS instruments are scored using item-level calibrations. Each question is answered using a 5-point Likert scale from "not at all (1)" to "very much (5)" with a raw score between 8 and 40. The t-score was automatically calculated using REDCap auto-score. A t-score of 50 indicates the mean score for the general population with a standard deviation of 10. A higher score reflects more of the domain being assessed. A t-score of 55-60 indicates mild fatigue, a t-score of 60-70 indicates moderate fatigue and a t-score of 70 or above indicates severe fatigue. | Posted | Mean | Standard Error | T-score | Baseline and Up to 4 weeks post intervention |
