Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of shoulder pain and its association with the use of assistive devices for mobility in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis conducted within a cohort study. SETTING: SCI service in a hospital and the community. PARTICIPANTS: Between August 2005 and January 2008, 93 participants with chronic SCI completed a standardized health questionnaire and pain questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Shoulder pain in last 6 months elicited by use of the McGill Pain Questionnaire pain diagram. RESULTS: Of the 93 participants, 65 (69.9%) reported pain at any site in the 6 months before testing. Shoulder pain, reported by 39.8% of participants, was the third most common site of pain after the legs and back. When stratified by the use of assistive mobility devices, shoulder pain was reported by 46.7% of motorized wheelchair users, 35.4% of manual wheelchair users, 47.6% of participants using aids such as crutch(es) or canes, and 33.3% of participants walking without assistance (P = .7 for comparison of 4 groups). CONCLUSIONS: Shoulder pain is highly prevalent in SCI. The authors of previous studies have largely attributed shoulder pain in SCI to manual wheelchair use. However, our results provide evidence for similarly elevated prevalence of shoulder pain among motorized wheelchair users and those patients using crutches or canes. This finding suggests that in addition to overuse injury from cyclic wheelchair propulsion, the assessment of other mechanical and nonmechanical factors that lead to shoulder pain in SCI is an unmet research need that may have treatment implications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
