Objectives: To evaluate how transfer technique and subject characteristics relate to ultrasound measures of shoulder soft tissue pathology and self-reported shoulder pain during transfers in a sample of wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI).Design: Cross-sectional observational study.Setting: Research laboratory, national and local veterans' wheelchair sporting events.Participants: A convenience sample of wheelchair users (N=76) with nonprogressive SCI. Participants were aged >18 years, >1 year postinjury, and could complete repeated independent wheelchair transfers without the use of their leg muscles.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Transfer pain items from the Wheelchair User's Shoulder Pain Index; transfer technique assessed using the Transfer Assessment Instrument (TM); and shoulder pathology markers examined using the Ultrasound Shoulder Pathology Rating Scale (USPRS).Results: Better transfer technique (higher TAI) correlated with less injury (lower USPRS) (partial eta(2)=.062, P
