First of all, with the correct sitting posture, apply a decompression pad. In a wheelchair, the patient should lean on the backrest of the wheelchair and sit in the middle of the wheelchair; Keep the upper body straight and lean against the middle of the backrest, and keep the two pieces horizontal; Put your feet in the middle of the pedal and touch (cling to) the lower part of the pedal. Patients with spinal cord injury are prone to bedsores if they sit directly on canvas, wood or metal seats when they are in wheelchairs. We should choose a comfortable cushion and adjust the height of the pedal to keep a distance of two fingers between the wheelchair cushion and the patient's popliteal fossa, which is helpful to prevent bedsores.
Second, using appropriate decompression skills, when sitting in a wheelchair, patients need to use appropriate decompression skills in addition to using more comfortable cushions, in order to effectively link stress and avoid bedsores.
Third, patients' families need to help patients to have regular activities. Don't always let patients sit in wheelchairs for a long time, but often help patients move to reduce the time when local skin is oppressed.
