    The spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most severe forms of disabling syndromes. Patients with SCI usually apply an excessive overload on the upper limbs, especially the shoulders, using them more frequently and in a greater range of activities when compared to healthy subjects. Moreover, the search for the improvement of the quality of life in the last years has led an increasingly number of SCI patients to practice physical activities. Many SCI patients use wheelchairs for functional locomotion and sports practice. However, this functional demand on shoulder's joint may lead to a painful picture, interfering on these patient's daily activities. With the improvements on technology and healthcare life expectancy for SCI patients has been increased. Since then, issues regarding quality of life and age-related diseases are very important for this population. The purpose of this paper was to better understand shoulder pain in SCI patients by reviewing available literature.
