The concept of a wheelchair cushion fitting clinic for the prevention of pressure sores is reviewed in the light of recent estimates of the cost of pressure sores in the U.K. A method for measuring the pressure beneath the ischial tuberosities is discussed and techniques for measuring a patient's habitual exercise frequency and seated posture are described. Results from the records of 600 spinal injury patients including Rancho Los Amigos Hospital are reported and used to demonstrate the importance of low pressure beneath the ischial tuberosities as an indicator of wheelchair cushion suitability.
鉴于英国近期对压疮成本的估计，对用于预防压疮的轮椅坐垫适配诊所的概念进行了回顾。讨论了一种测量坐骨结节下方压力的方法，并描述了测量患者习惯性运动频率和坐姿的技术。报告了包括兰乔·洛斯阿米戈斯医院在内的600名脊髓损伤患者记录的结果，并用以证明坐骨结节下方的低压作为轮椅坐垫适用性指标的重要性。
