Pressure sore prevention is a major objective in the rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injury. Wheelchair cushions are frequently prescribed to relieve pressure and reduce the risk of pressure sores in this population. In this study, 251 subjects with paraplegia and quadriplegia were evaluated to decide which wheelchair cushions were suitable. Criteria for the comparative evaluation of cushions included not only magnitude and distribution of pressure but also factors such as wheelchair compatibility, ease of transfer, activities, and independence. Although the Roho cushion was prescribed most frequently, it was not recommended for all subjects. This study provides additional evidence that no single cushion is optimal for all people with spinal cord injury. Rather, objective measurements and clinical judgments are essential elements of a complete evaluation.
预防压疮是脊髓损伤患者康复过程中的一个主要目标。轮椅坐垫常被用于减轻此类人群的压力并降低压疮风险。在本研究中，对251名截瘫和四肢瘫患者进行了评估，以确定哪种轮椅坐垫合适。坐垫比较评估的标准不仅包括压力的大小和分布，还包括轮椅兼容性、转移便利性、活动能力和独立性等因素。尽管罗霍坐垫的处方最为常见，但并非推荐给所有患者。本研究提供了更多证据，表明没有一种坐垫对所有脊髓损伤患者都是最佳的。相反，客观测量和临床判断是全面评估的关键要素。
