Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord injuries can lead to significant loss of motor, sensory, and autonomic functions, impacting not just physical mobility but overall life participation, with 60%-80% of affected individuals relying on wheelchairs.
- Although previous research has highlighted the benefits of yoga for spinal cord injury symptoms, a validated yoga program specifically for wheelchair users was lacking, prompting this study.
- The study developed a wheelchair-based yoga module through four phases, involving expert validation, resulting in a final module with 17 effective yoga practices and a high content validity index of 0.81, but further research is needed to assess its practical usability and impact.
