Effect of tilt and recline on ischial and coccygeal interface pressures in people with spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE Clinicians commonly recommend that power wheelchair users with spinal cord injury perform wheelchair tilt and recline maneuvers to redistribute seating loads away from the ischial tuberosities. However, ischial pressure reduction may be accompanied by coccygeal pressure increases. Although the coccyx is among the most common sites of pressure ulcers, few studies have reported coccygea...
متن کاملInvestigation of Peak Pressure Index Parameters for People with Spinal Cord Injury Using Wheelchair Tilt-in-Space and Recline: Methodology and Preliminary Report
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the sensel window's location and size when calculating the peak pressure index (PPI) of pressure mapping with varying degrees of wheelchair tilt-in-space (tilt) and recline in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Thirteen power wheelchair users were recruited into this study. Six combinations of wheelchair tilt (15°, 25°, and 35°) and re...
متن کاملDevelopment of intelligent model for personalized guidance on wheelchair tilt and recline usage for people with spinal cord injury: methodology and preliminary report.
Wheelchair tilt and recline functions are two of the most desirable features for relieving seating pressure to decrease the risk of pressure ulcers. The effective guidance on wheelchair tilt and recline usage is therefore critical to pressure ulcer prevention. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of using machine learning techniques to construct an intelligent model to provi...
متن کاملBiomechanics of manual wheelchair propulsion in elderly: system tilt and back recline angles.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of the system tilt and back recline angles on the biomechanics of wheelchair propulsion for a group of older, disabled patients. It was hypothesized that increasing both the system tilt and backrest recline angles would have a positive effect on the biomechanical efficiency of manual wheelchair propulsion. DESIGN Three kinetic variables were estimated duri...
