Buttock pressure management of able-bodied people seated on a rigid surface for two hours.
Résumé
It is now well known that deep pressure ulcers are due to excessive pressure intensity (leading to soft tissues internal strains above 50 % for some minutes) and prolonged compression (leading to internal strains above 20 % for about two hours). This paper aims at better understanding why able-bodied individuals put in quite extreme conditions (i.e seated for 2 hours long on a rigid surface) do not get pressure ulcers. Thirty young healthy subjects agreed to stay seated on a rigid surface during two hours while watching a movie. The buttocks/seat interface pressures were recorded by a pressure mapping system.
