Does being in a wheelchair cause pressure ulcers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wheelchair: Not necessarily so. Your wheelchair and cushion should be assessed by someone knowledgeable with this type of equipment. For example, there are seating specialists (physical therapists) that can evaluate you and your needs and order the correct equipment.
