Summary

This study tested a mobile app called SCI-Lynx designed to help people with spinal cord injury connect with others who have similar exercise goals. Over one month, 33 participants used the app to find exercise buddies, set goals, and track progress. The goal was to see if the app is easy to use and whether it improves social support and confidence for physical activity.
