Pressure Injury Prevention & Power Mobility Education Hub
Caring for someone with limited mobility can feel overwhelming—you're not alone, and this series is here to help.
Whether your loved one is living with stroke, ALS, Parkinson's, spinal cord injury, or another neurological condition that affects their ability to walk safely, shift position, or sit upright independently, we understand the unique challenges you're facing.
This comprehensive 7-part series provides practical guidance for patients, families, and healthcare professionals on three critical areas: preventing pressure injuries, protecting vulnerable skin, and navigating the insurance process for complex power wheelchairs.
These tools are especially helpful for individuals with:
- ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Stroke with hemiplegia
- Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
- Cerebral Palsy (CP)
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
- Post-Polio Syndrome
- Huntington’s Disease
- Severe Rheumatoid or Osteoarthritis
- Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease)
- Amputation (especially bilateral lower extremity)
- Progressive neurological or orthopedic conditions
- Obesity-related immobility or frailty with pressure risk
If your loved one relies on others to move, reposition, or stay upright, they may qualify for Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) power seating through Medicare.
