Decubitus ulcers are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue due to prolonged pressure on the skin. These sores most often develop on the skin covering bony areas of the body including the heels, ankles, hips, and tailbone. Decubitus ulcers are usually found in people who are hospitalized or have reduced mobility, especially when accompanied by poor nutritional status.
However, ulcers can be experienced by individuals whose mobility is normal, but their sensitivity to pain is reduced, such as in people with diabetes mellitus, spinal cord injury, or stroke.
