Summary

A retrospective study with the patients having a positioning consultation at hospital, between 2009 and 2014. In every neuromuscular disorder, the investigators describe the population seen in consultation, the aim of consultation, the postural problem observed in wheelchair, pain when sitting in wheelchair, and pressure ulcer.

Detailed description

Postural problem is described with MCPAA (Measure of Postural Control in Sitting Position, created by B. GAGNON, physiotherapist in Quebec) : we look at pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, pelvic anteversion or retroversion, trunk slope and rotation, kyphotic or scoliotic posture, neck posture and legs posture. We evaluate if these deformities are soft, moderate or severe, and if they are relievable
