Guided by the Self-Determination Theory, our studies aim to identify facilitators of and barriers to the participation of people living with SCI in travel-related activities, and to understand how these factors enhance or impede participation through travel needs satisfaction and motivation. The ability to travel, as a common thread in independent living, employment and community living, is highly relevant to participation in many life activities. Thus, the study's findings can be used to improve the quality of life for people living with SCI.
