Learn how leading-edge pressure imaging technology, like [*XSENSOR’s ForeSite SS Wheelchair Seat System*](https://www.xsensor.com/solutions-and-platform/csm/wheelchair-seating), can help you perform wheelchair user skin assessments, understand the effects of posture and deformity on pressure distribution, and why performing a seating evaluation is useful when quantifying posture and pelvic alignment. Bart explores, in-detail, the pressure injury prevention guidelines for seating, guidelines for seating with a pressure injury, and what Pelvic Loading Areas (*PLA*) are, with real-world examples using different cushions. This webinar series aims to help occupational and physical therapists, nurses, and other rehabilitation professionals develop their skills and understand how the pressure mapping technology can help them understand, learn, and experience how wheelchair seat cushion properties can inform the safety, posture, and comfort of wheelchair users. **Key Benefits of Attending This Webinar:** - ***Understand –*** *An overview of different seat cushion strategies for managing pelvic alignment.* - ***Learn –*** *How to quantify pelvic alignment using pressure mapping technology.* - ***Experience –*** *From first-hand clinical cases of pelvic alignment evaluations.* *[![Watch our FREE webinar now.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8277230/9a6c46ea-7538-4e4e-83c7-f6312b7bdb95.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8277230/9a6c46ea-7538-4e4e-83c7-f6312b7bdb95)* Tags: [Continuous Skin Monitoring](https://blog.xsensor.com/tag/continuous-skin-monitoring), [Pressure Injury Prevention](https://blog.xsensor.com/tag/pressure-injury-prevention), [Wheelchair Seating Assessment](https://blog.xsensor.com/tag/wheelchair-seating-assessment), [ForeSite SS Wheelchair Seat System](https://blog.xsensor.com/tag/foresite-ss-wheelchair-seat-system), [Webinar](https://blog.xsensor.com/tag/webinar) [Back to Blog](https://blog.xsensor.com) ## Related Articles ## [Webinar: Pressure Mapping for Wheelchair Back Support](https://blog.xsensor.com/webinar-how-to-use-pressure-mapping-for-wheelchair-back-support-interventions) In XSENSOR Technology's webinar, 'How to Use Pressure Mapping for Wheelchair Back Support...
