Book excerpt: "Fewer than 15% of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) meet the SCI physical activity guidelines. In adults with SCI, novel interventions to promote physical activity, such as those based in self-determination theory, and those that use online video-based modalities, have yet to be tested. The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial was to evaluate a tele-health, self- determination theory-based intervention aimed to enhance satisfaction of the basic psychological needs, motivation, and physical activity in adults with SCI. As part of a larger study, 14 participants were recruited and randomized to either the control or intervention group, 13 of which participated in this study. The intervention group received one, one-hour counselling session per week, for a total of eight weeks. The counselling sessions focused on fostering the basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation, teaching behaviour change techniques, and self-regulatory strategies, and used motivational interviewing. Both groups responded to a questionnaire at baseline, mid-intervention, and post-intervention. Hierarchical multiple regressions and effect sizes were used to examine to what extent the intervention predicted the outcome, when controlling for covariates and baseline levels. Results showed that compared to the control group, intervention participants had moderate to large increases in autonomous motivation, small increases in perceived satisfaction of the basic psychological needs, and small to large increases in LTPA. This randomized control trial has helped establish the feasibility of conducting SDT and tele-health based LTPA counselling interventions for adults with SCI. This pilot randomized control trial will help inform the basis of future studies to promote LTPA in adults with SCI." --
