Background: Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt to changing situations, manage difficult thoughts and emotions
effectively, and stay committed to meaningful actions despite challenges. It involves being open to experiences and staying
present in the moment, whereas psychological inflexibility refers to the inability or unwillingness to adapt to changing
situations, perspectives, or emotions. It involves being rigid in one's thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours, making it difficult to
adjust to new information, challenges, or unexpected events like loss of motor functions which is evident in case of spinal cord
injuries.
