strength imbalances can disrupt your balance and cause a change in your posture. Tight muscles in your trunk and legs can do the same. Pay attention to these things: > Curving or twisting in your back [spine]. > Tightness in your legs or trunk that prevents your body from keeping its normal balance. > One knee looking “higher” than the other. > Any appearance of slumping or leaning to one side of the wheelchair or the other. > Make sure your foot pedals are adjusted for your height. > Sit up as straight as possible in your wheelchair. > Always use a well-maintained cushion. [See section 2.b, Equipment.] > Be aware that any change in your positioning to ease pressure in one area will affect the pressure on other areas. Don’t do fancy or new maneuvers in your wheelchair until you’ve been trained. Spasms can lead to skin trauma. For example, a spasm during a tilt back can result in your ankle hitting a calf rest pad and causing injury. Don’t sleep in your wheelchair. You can’t do a pressure release if you’re asleep. Potential Hazards to Skin Many problems from inside and outside your body can affect skin health and wound healing. Some examples of internal problems are anemia [not enough red blood cells], poor nutrition, diabetes, lung disease, and problems with circulation. Emotional and psychological problems like drug or alcohol use or depression can have a negative effect on your ability to practice good skin care. Cold Injuries Loss of skin sensation puts you at risk for injury from things that are too cold: Prevent frostbite by wearing warm socks and sturdy shoes when you’re outside. Cover your head, ears, and hands when you go out. If your ears are getting cold and tingling, your feet probably are too, so go inside. If you’re using ice or a chemical cold pack for swelling, wrap it in a towel. Don’t ice longer than 10 minutes at a time. Beware of holding frozen foods on your lap. Use a protective pad under frozen items. Wheelchairs and their parts can get cold enough to cause injury if they’re used or stored in a cold place. Wear gloves to push your manual wheelchair during cold weather. Exposure to the cold parts of your wheelchair can dry your skin, causing cracks and splits that are hard to heal. Some wheelchair cushions with gel packs have caused injury after being stored outside. Section 1: How SCI Affects Your Body! | [ 15 ] Preventing Injury Before your SCI, sensations warned you to move away from harm. Now that you’ve lost some or all of the ability to feel and/or move below your level of injury, your skin is at risk for injury. Always be aware of how close your paralyzed body parts are to possible hazards around you. Are you too close to a heater, fireplace, campfire, or exposed hot water pipes? After transferring to an overstuffed chair, are your feet squarely on the floor? When transferring or moving around, be careful not to bump into things. Use your eyes to check out distances and obstacles. Remember that when you’re in your wheelchair, your feet stick out farther than the rest of you, so wear shoes to protect your toes.
