A new pressure measuring system for cushions and beds—with a review of the literature

Abstract
An interface pressure measuring device for the assessment of subject-cushion interface pressures at ten points has been described. Preliminary trials using 12 healthy subjects on four cushions and three spinal injury patients on six cushions, has been carried out. It was also found that the water and foam cushion distributed the pressure over a larger area than the foam cushions.
