Official title
RCT on Wheeled Mobility for Preventing Pressure Ulcers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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.
