Summary

For Veterans with spinal cord injury who use a wheelchair, pressure injuries related to sitting are a significant daily threat to well-being. Pressure injuries are costly to treat, negatively impact quality of life and community participation, and can be life threatening. Moving or shifting at regular intervals in the wheelchair redistributes harmful pressure and reduces risk for skin breakdown, yet these movements are a challenge to perform consistently. The challenge exists due to lack of sensation to let the individual know they need to shift their weight. Pressure mapping provides a detailed visual representation of pressure distribution and can compensate for impaired sensation. Pressure mapping feedback delivered on-demand on mobile platforms can potentially increase effectiveness in carrying out behaviors to reduce risk for pressure injury when used during clinician-delivered education to set goals and monitor progress and when used at home as a self-management strategy.

Conditions

  • Pressure Ulcer

Interventions

DEVICE

Use of CMAP app for education (in-hospital)

Clinicians will use the updated CMAP system during patient education for prevention of pressure injuries with Veterans with SCI who are completing their initial rehabilitation.

DEVICE

Use of CMAP app (in-home)

The Veteran will use the CMAP system at home for two weeks during their daily routines.
