A questionnaire was circulated to the 708 members of the Spinal Cord Injuries Association in 1976. The response rate was 79.5%. Over one half (51.4%) of the respondents suffered from shoulder pain, an incidence in excess of any age group in a control population derived from a general practitioner's register. The pain, which was related particularly to wheelchair usage and other attendant factors such as transfers, was in some instances clearly in the shoulder, whereas in others it was more likely to be cervical root pain. The implication of these findings are discussed.
1976年，一份调查问卷被分发给脊髓损伤协会的708名成员。回复率为79.5%。超过一半（51.4%）的受访者患有肩部疼痛，这一发病率高于从全科医生登记册中选取的对照人群中的任何年龄组。这种疼痛尤其与轮椅使用及其他诸如转移等相关因素有关，在某些情况下疼痛明显在肩部，而在其他情况下更可能是颈神经根痛。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
