Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in the seating system of the user's wheelchair

Any change in the seating system of the user's wheelchair within 12 months will be noted. A change in the seating system is defined by the occurrence of at least one of these situations: * one or more seat/back adjustments: depth, width, height * addition/removal of postural elements * replacement of the cushion, or backrest or headrest * Use of electric functions of the wheelchair or on-board standing * modification of control device of the WC.

Time frame
through study completion, to 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM)

Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM) is an instrument for the clinical assessment of seated postural control in adult clients using a locomotion aid. It therefore allows the evaluation of the two variables in inherent to postural control seated, i.e. the alignment of body segments and the influence between movement and posture. It also helps to assess changes of seated postural control due to the evolution over time or to an intervention of a adaptation of the sitting posture.

Time frame
at baseline and 12 months
2

Pain Visual Analogue Scale

To assess pain, the investigators will use a Visual Analog Scale (0-10).

Time frame
at baseline and 12 months
3

Pressure ulcer topography (stage and location )

International NPUAP/EPUAP Pressure injury classification system

Time frame
at baseline and 12 months
4

Comfort perception scale (Visual Analogue Scale)

Visual Analog Scale (0-10) will be used to assess comfort of patients.

Time frame
at baseline and 12 months
