BACKGROUND: The prevalence of women with spinal cord injury is increasing, and their unique attributes merit attention, specifically, shoulder strength and community wheelchair propulsion. RESULTS: Shoulder torques were 62%-96% greater in men than women, average daily distance traveled was greater for men, and average speeds were similar. CONCLUSIONS: Community wheelchair propulsion speed was similar between men and women but men were significantly stronger, therefore daily mobility requires a higher relative effort for women's shoulder muscles. This demand may increase susceptibility to fatigue and development of shoulder pain.
