Pressure ulcers remain a major source of morbidity and mortality in Veterans with
neurologic impairment. Management of pressure ulcers typically involves pressure
relief over skin regions containing wounds, but this can lead to loss of mobility
and independence when the wounds are located in regions that receive pressure
during sitting. An innovative, iterative design process was undertaken to improve
prone cart design for persons with spinal cord injury and pressure ulceration.
Further investigation of ways to improve prone carts is warranted to enhance the
quality of life of persons with pressure ulcers.
