Summary

This study tests an 8-week online group program called Living Longer and Stronger with SCI, designed to help people with spinal cord injury improve their physical, mental, and social health as they age.

The trial includes 180 adults in the U.S. who have had a traumatic spinal cord injury for at least 15 years or are over age 45 and use a wheelchair.
