Have you ever felt the pain of not changing your position, just sitting there, without making any movement for a long period of time? We as normal and mobile persons tend to change our position time-to-time almost automatically we never we feel pain or discomfort in our buttocks. But how about the immobile, the elderly, the paralyze, patients with motion limitation confined for long hours in a wheelchair who can hardly lift themselves up just to change position for pressure relief? These persons with severe disabilities are more likely at risk developing pressure sore.
