This resource, developed by clinical experts across the SCI-IEQCC Network and Spinal Cord Injury Ontario, addresses the critical need for assisted skin checks for individuals with spinal cord injuries. You will learn the specific techniques for a support worker or caregiver to perform a thorough inspection while the individual is lying in bed. By understanding the physiological causes of damage—such as pressure and shear—caregivers can become a vital line of defense in identifying early warning signs before skin breakdown becomes a severe medical complication.
