The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between shoulder pain, physical activity level, and quality of life in manual wheelchair user athletes and also compare shoulder pain differences by dividing the sample into overhead and non-overhead sports, individual and team sports, and athletes with congenital and acquired disabilities. Lastly, the physical activity participation of manual wheelchair user athletes during the pandemic period was described. One hundred manual wheelchair user athletes participated in this study via online and face-to-face surveys. The purposive sample was selected. The instruments were the Turkish version of Wheelchair User’s Shoulder Pain Index (WUSPI-Tr), Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physically Disabled (PASIPD), and Short Form-12 (SF-12). According to the Pearson correlation coefficient results, the WUSPI score was correlated to the PASIPD score significantly (r(98) = .293, p<.01), and there was a significant inverse correlation between the WUSPI score and the PCS score according (r(98) = -.415, p<.01). According to the Mann-Whitney U test results, no significant difference was found between overhead and non-overhead sports athletes and between individual and team sports athletes in terms of shoulder pain (p>.05). It was determined that athletes with congenital disabilities suffered significantly less shoulder pain than athletes with acquired disabilities (U = 915.500, z = -2.263, p = .024, r=0.23). Hence, a strength and prevention program against shoulder pain development is recommended for wheelchair user athletes to support their physical activity level and quality of life.
