    Author: Wall J.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 2000 Feb; 15(5):321-4. PubMed ID: 10986957.
    Abstract:
    A research study was undertaken to increase understanding of the causes of pressure sore development in regular wheelchair users. This information may help identify whether existing risk assessment tools exclude important information relating to this patient group. A risk assessment tool for regular wheelchair users has been produced, based on the findings of this study, and is being tested for reliability and validity.
