Exploring repositioning movements in sitting with ‘at risk’ groups using accelerometry and interface pressure mapping technologies
Despite high quality guidelines underpinning pressure ulcer care (NPUAP/EPUAP/PPPIA, 2014), pressure ulceration still poses a significant financial impact on health care services in treatment and staff costs as well as having a profound effect on the health and quality of life of individuals experiencing them. Repositioning is a key preventative technique recommended by occupational therapists and other health care professionals. The frequency and quality of repositioning movements performed by individuals, however, can be difficult to determine. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

Dynamic computational simulations for evaluating tissue loads applied by regulated negative pressure-assisted wound therapy (RNPT) system for treating large wounds
Regulated negative pressure-assisted wound therapy (RNPT) is one of the most important wound treatment technologies developed and applied over the last two decades. To-date RNPT has been proven to be clinically effective in treating chronic wounds, however, the effects of different specific pressure delivery protocols on the progress and quality of tissue repair are not adequately understood yet. Here, we suggest a viscoelastic, three-dimensional finite element modeling framework of RNPT, with several realistic features such as a non-symmetrically configured multi-layered tissue structure.

Grand convergence in wound healing - The imperative for collaboration in research, innovation and quality improvement
In this edition of the journal, there are a number of papers that describe research or efforts to improve wound care from different parts of the world. The diversity of these papers reflects the emerging international focus on delivering patient centred high quality evidence-based health care that delivers the best possible outcomes through the prudent use of the human, economic and social capital.

Monitoring the biomechanical and physiological effects of postural changes during leisure chair sitting
Individuals with limited mobility can spend prolonged periods in leisure chairs, increasing their risk of developing a seated acquired pressure ulcer. The present study aims to use objective measures of posture and tissue viability to identify the associated risks of leisure chair related pressure ulcers. (Source: Journal of Tissue Viability)

Measurement and reporting of pressure ulcer related harm in NHS Hospitals in England
Patient safety incident reports and incident reporting systems may underestimate the nature and extent of pressure ulcers in secondary care settings, but when they are used appropriately they can be a valuable resource of information that can be used to develop quality improvement interventions to reduce pressure ulcer related harm.
