ADAPSS-SF: Appraisal of Disability and Participation Scale- short form; EQVAS: EuroQol Visual Analog Scale; FSS: Fatigue Severity Scale; GADS: Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale; ISCIPDS: International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Data Set; P1: Participant 1; P2; Participant 2; PHQ9: Patient Health Questionnaire; 0 w: Baseline assessment; 10 w: 10-week assessment. Higher scores on GAD-7, PHQ-9, FSS, and ISCIPDS–pain intensity scales correspond to greater anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain intensity, respectively. Lower scores on the ADAPSS-SF indicate a more positive appraisal of injury. Higher scores on the ISCIPDS-activities, ISCIPDS-mood, and ISCIPDS-sleep scales indicate a greater interference caused by pain in these aspects of life. Higher scores on the EQ-VAS indicate an improved quality of life. * SCI population is comprised of different injury levels and time since injury.
