Clinical Trial Summary

There can be barriers for clients with progressive disorders who are power wheelchair users and their caregivers that prohibit them from performing pressure relief. Clients may struggle with consistent performance of pressure relief and may not recall the importance, have methods to perform, or be able to perform due to weakness or other disease changes.


Clinical Trial Description

Study the population of power wheelchair users with progressive disorders at the Neurology Specialty Care - Edgehill, Carolina Neuromuscular Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)/ Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Center to identify barriers, provide potential solutions, and provide education and training to both increase knowledge and understanding of pressure relief options and processes as well as to overcome these perceived barriers amongst the clinic population. Current adults of the Neurology Specialty Care practice who are complex power wheelchair users will be eligible for this project as an extension of usual care. ;
