Managing Microclimate
Because of their limited mobility and sensation, wheelchair users are at risk
for tissue injuries. We’ve known for decades that pressure and shear are clear culprits of tissue injuries, but continued research is determining that higher skin surface temperature and moisture are also contributing factors. Written by Sunrise Medical’s Clinical Team, “Managing Microclimate” explores what microclimate is and how the importance of managing
it plays into overall tissue health. This resource identifies steps that caregivers and wheelchair users can take to manage microclimate and considerations that should be made during the seating assess- ment. Are you considering the cushion materials? Are you considering the cushion cover materials? Is airflow being opti- mized? Managing Microclimate and other educational resources are available to view
