st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } I have followed
this thread on pressure mapping for a while, and I am very interested in
finding a place that does pressure mapping. I bought a new seat cushion, which
was recommended by Santa Clara medical center, a J2 deep contour, which I
really liked for the stabilizing, but believe that it has contributed to the
groin wound. I am not finding a lot on pressure mapping on the Internet, so I
am going to contact Santa Clara SCI and see if there is a pressure mapping
dealer in that area. I live in Reno Nevada, and you would think that there are
plenty of wheelchair places here, but that is not the case. I made an
appointment with rehabilitation to be fitted for the new cushion, and one of
the two medical supply companies representatives met with us. Neither one of
them could say anything about the way I sit, other than I had good posture and
was not putting any pressure on the ischium. I have never had a
decubitus on the ischium, my wound in back is on the sacrum, probably caused
from bed, as I sleep on my back all the time. So I am sandwiched front and
back! I hope that pressure mapping, and then having some expert advice on
correct seating I should use will help to eliminate any recurrence of these
wounds. I realize that as I get older, my skin becomes more fragile, and since
I will be 68 shortly and 16 1/2 years post-injury that skin breakdowns may
become more the norm than not.
