To investigate the effect of various wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline angles on sacral skin perfusion in wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI). Repeated measures, intervention and outcomes measure design. University research laboratory. Power wheelchair users with SCI (N=11). Six protocols of various wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline angles were randomly assigned to the participants, including (1) 15° tilt-in-space and 100° recline, (2) 25° tilt-in-space and 100° recline, (3) 35° tilt-in-space and 100° recline, (4) 15° tilt-in-space and 120° recline, (5) 25° tilt-in-space and 120° recline, and (6) 35° tilt-in-space and 120° recline. Each protocol consisted of a 5 min upright sitting and a 5 min tilted and reclined period. Skin perfusion over the sacrum (midpoint between the right posterior superior iliac spine and adjacent spinous process) and right ischial tuberosity was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry. Sacral skin perfusion did not show a significant difference in all six protocols of various tilt-in-space and recline angles when changing from an upright to a tilted and reclined position (N.S.). However, as previously reported, skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosity showed a significant increase at 15°, 25°, and 35° tilt-in-space when combined with 120° recline and at 35° tilt-in-space when combined with 100° recline (P<.0083). Our results indicate that wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline enhances skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosities without reducing sacral skin perfusion when changing from an upright to a tilted and reclined position.
