The World Health Organization recommends that individuals maintain a physical activity level of 1.75, based on a WHO physical activity questionnaire. A score of 1.55 to 1.65 indicates limited physical activity, and a score of 1.4 signifies a sedentary lifestyle. Overall, the participants exhibited an activity level of 1.56, indicating limited activity. When the group was divided into complete and incomplete lesions, a large difference was evident. The 10 participants with incomplete spinal cord injuries had an activity level of 1.72, very near the recommended level. However, the remaining 17 people with complete injuries had a level of 1.42, or sedentary. The low level of physical activity in the group of participants with complete spinal cord injuries also contributed to a lower total daily energy expenditure. The daily energy expenditure was 24.6% lower in persons with complete lesions as opposed to persons with incomplete lesions.
