J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(8):1297–1310. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2014.02.0048 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2014.02.0048JSP Aim – Evaluate biomechanical efficacies of air-cell-based (ACB) cushion for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) with previous pressure ulcers (PUs) that healed but left scars in their soft tissues. Relevance – For individuals with SCI who depend on a wheelchair for mobility, sitting-acquired PUs are common and life endangering.
