Abstract
Patients with a spinal cord injury (SCI) have a higher risk to develop a pressure ulcer during a hospital stay. Combining real time pressure interface measurements with an alternating air-pressure seat cushion may be a feasible and superior option to decrease the development of pressure ulcers in SCI patients.
