and your role in a skin management program.
Your therapist and physician should be con-
sulted if you have questions regarding individual
limitations and needs.
All cushions used for the prevention or treat-
ment of decubitus ulcers (pressure sores)
should be selected carefully. Working with your
your therapist, and physician is the best way to
assure that a cushion choice matches your in-
