It may be difficult to know where to start or how to build an exercise program after spinal cord injury (SCI). Blood pressure and heart rate are typically lower in people with SCI so they don’t always provide accurate measures of how hard someone is exercising. Working with medical and fitness professionals is a good place to start. As well, using the Rate of Perceived Exertion scale can help with knowing how hard to work.
