Body pressure measuring device for the prevention against pressure sores

The disabled on the move using wheelchairs need to have cushions possible to distribute the force being applied to wide ranges to reduce the risk of pressure sore. When sitting for a long time continuously without reducing the concentration of pressure, the pressure sore will damage tissues of skin and can cause the serious infection which may threaten the life. When sitting in the upright posture, larger proportion of body weight is concentrated on the ischial tuberosity. Therefore, more fundamental prevention from pressure sore must be accomplished by providing information on body pressure. Accordingly, it was designed so that it can be supplied to the more disabled through development of the body pressure measuring system which shows the body pressure distribution and the low-price development.
