This table includes the survey results of the ratings of feasibility for types of ABT and technology to track. Numbers in bold indicate items where >50% of respondents rated it as feasible. SD, standard deviation; ABT, activity-based therapy; C, clinician; SCI/D, spinal cord injury or disease; NMES, neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
*This type of ABT was suggested for inclusion by a participant in survey round 1.
