In the laboratory, the paradigm of Vestimology came to being as I tried to meet the fashion wants of people in wheelchairs. At the same time, my goal was to help the doctors that sent their clients to me meet the medical needs for prevention of abrasion and decubitus ulcers. This dual system of providing for the people in wheelchairs gravitated to the caretakers and families who wanted more mobility and exposure problems corrected. This all developed, along with proper prescription writing for the medical profession, so that the client could apply to his private insurance company for payment. Many decubiti, costing more than $10,000 a month each to maintain, can be prevented with correct design. That cost can be as low as the insurance and one's paycheck allow. Generally, about $1,000 to $4,000 annually, depending on the amount and type of work done. This “Missing Link" is about to come full circle for thousands of people suffering with decubitus ulcers. Learn how your doctor can prescribe for you.
