This resource, co-developed by the SCI-IEQCC Network and Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, addresses the critical need for effective independent skin checks. You will learn practical techniques for inspecting hard-to-see areas—such as using a mirror and a selfie stick—to identify early signs of tissue damage. By understanding the combined impact of pressure and shear (the tearing force caused by sliding during transfers), you can take proactive steps to adjust your posture and movement to prevent deep, hard-to-treat injuries.
