The Modified Braden Scale

The Braden Scale, developed in 1988, is used to determine an individual’s risk of developing a pressure injury. Despite the acknowledged role of unpaid caregivers in pressure injury prevention, there currently remains a lack of pressure injury risk assessment tools tailored to the education level of this caregiver population.

Our team is developing a Modified Braden Scale designed for individuals at risk of developing pressure injuries and the unpaid caregivers who support them.
