Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* What is the feasibility of an online rehabilitation programme to support physical activity adherence in people with spinal cord injury following discharge into the community?
* How effective is an online rehabilitation programme to enhance functional capacity, physical activity and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury following discharge into the community?
Participants will be given a personalised online rehabilitation programme to complete two times a week. It will consist of a warm up two exercise components (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength) and a cool down.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All subacute inpatients who are undergoing their first episode of inpatient rehabilitation post SCI at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit (QENSIU) who fulfil the inclusion criteria will be invited to take part in the current study. A rehabilitation programme will be prescribed individually for each participant. Each programme will align with the current PA guidelines for adults with SCI and will be tailored to the participants ability. Participants will be advised to complete the programme twice per week. It will consist of 20 mins cardiorespiratory followed by a strengthening session. Therefore, the participants will engage in the programme for roughly 40 minutes twice per week. The participants will be instructed to log all completed sessions in an online diary so adherence and duration of PA can be monitored.
Assessment will consist of 4 phases, two in person assessments at baseline and 6 weeks post discharge and two remote (online) assessments at 2 and 12 weeks post discharge. Each assessment will consist of quantitative outcome measures. Additionally, a subset of the study sample will take part in a qualitative structured video interview at the end of their intervention period.
