A study to evaluate the performance of a new pressure sore risk indicator designed for non-ambulant wheelchair users
University of Nottingham
It is hoped that this study demonstrated the effectiveness of an indicator which was more sensitive and more specific than those currently in use. Longer term, it hoped to develop the use of the indicator as an educational tool and evaluate its effectiveness as a preventative intervention.
This project is now complete.
