About Pressure Mapping

Pressure mapping involves using sensors to quantify the surface interface pressure between two soft contacting objects, such as a person and a wheelchair cushion. Pressure mapping has many widespread applications, but in assistive technology it is commonly used by clinicians to determine the suitability of a wheelchair cushion and by researchers investigating support surfaces, risk factors for ulceration, and pressure sore prevention protocols. Pressure mapping systems are manufactured in many configurations for different uses including those suitable for wheelchair seating and positioning assessment, hospital beds, retail bed mattresses, foot/orthotics assessment and numerous other clinical and industrial applications.
