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. Participants set health goals and make weekly action plans with support from study leaders and peers. 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.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, scalable online program to help people with spinal cord injury age more healthily and with better quality of life.
