Abstract
A preliminary analysis of a 2-year prospective study of the health, degree of physical disability and skin integrity of 160 permanently seated persons is presented in this paper. The study was undertaken to inform the development of a self-managed risk assessment tool for the prevention of pressure ulcers in permanently seated individuals. The results of this study offer further insight into the challenges of pressure ulcer prevention and the role of education and self management in achieving this.
