RCT on Wheeled Mobility for Preventing Pressure Ulcers

University of Pittsburgh·interventional·Posted Jan 12, 2011·Updated Jun 28, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Lightweight wheelchair and Skin Protection Cushion for Mobility Limitation. Completed, enrolled 258 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The proposed clinical trial is aimed at demonstrating the important role wheelchairs play in preventing pressure ulcers (bed sores). Although most pressure ulcers can be prevented, they are common in nursing home settings because their causes are difficult to identify. This clinical trial will guide practitioners toward improving preventive care practices by demonstrating how to effectively apply wheelchair and seat cushion technology.
