超过 70% 的疗养院居民一天中至少有一部分时间是在轮椅上度过的。理想情况下，每个居民都应该配备自己的轮椅。一把合适的椅子可以提高活动性、安全性和舒适度。然而，不合适的轮椅可能会导致或加剧医疗问题。这些包括与姿势相关的并发症，如呼吸困难或吞咽困难、跌倒、压疮和其他几种情况。参与质量改进活动的药剂师可以优先考虑轮椅的使用和选择，从而改善对坐轮椅的居民的护理。
More than 70% of nursing home residents spend at least part of their day in wheelchairs. Ideally, each resident would be fitted for his or her own wheelchair. A well-fitted chair can improve mobility, safety, and comfort. Wheelchairs that are ill fitting, however, can cause or exacerbate medical problems. These include posture-related complications like poor breathing or dysphagia, falls, pressure sores, and several other conditions. Pharmacists who are involved with quality improvement activities can make wheelchair use and selection a priority, improving care for wheelchair-bound residents.
