Abstract
Clinicians need to prescribe wheelchair equipment that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Relative humidity affects friction and skin's ability to withstand loads. Increased tissue temperature increases metabolic demand and may affect tissue integrity. Need to develop ISO standards for cushion testing.
