Pressure injury complication is common among wheelchair users (Barrois et al., 2018; Le Fort et al., 2017). A review of the scientific literature (Umbrella Review) made it possible to draw up a list of all these risk factors, which were then categorized.

It also revealed that the combination of several risk factors did not simply add up their effects, but could amplify the hazard, creating a single, larger risk factor.
