Sitting Categorisation Technology for Wheelchair Users to Prevent Pressure Ulcers

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Individuals with SCI who are confined to a wheelchair are at perpetual risk of developing decubitus, which typically results from prolonged periods of pressure/rubbing on the skin. To increase efficiency and adherence to preventive measures and to support wheelchair users in reducing pressure magnitudes/durations, we aim to develop SIT-CATwheelchair a textile pressure analysis system for providing wheelchair users specific feedback towards preventing decubitus.
