Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and interactions of 2 methods of pressure ulcer prevention, wheelchair cushions and pressure relief maneuvers, on interface pressure (IF) and blood flow of the buttocks.Design: Within-subject repeated measures.Setting: Rehabilitation center.Participants: Wheelchair users with a spinal cord injury or disorder (N=17).Interventions: Participants performed 3 forward leans and 2 sideward leans with different degrees of lean while seated on each of 3 different wheelchair cushions.Main Outcome Measures: IP measured with a custom sensor and blood flow measured with laser Doppler flowmetry were collected at the ischial tuberosity.Results: Pressure relief maneuvers had a significant main effect on the ischial IP (P
