Reducing pressure with the goal of improving outcomes: a retrospective chart review of cushion evaluations and recommendations at one seating clinic.

Purpose: To describe the current seating recommendations made by a seating clinic for wheelchair users who presented with a Pressure Injury (PrI) or history of PrI.

Methods: Retrospective review of electronic medical records of 133 adults who used a wheelchair as their primary means of mobility who had a cushion evaluation during which interface pressure mapping data was documented.

Results: Clinicians adjusted 71% of participants' wheelchair cushions, including 49% who received a new cushion, and 37% of participants' wheelchairs.
