Monitoring Movement for Pressure Ulcer Prevention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pressure Ulcer

In brief

The goal of this work is to develop and test an automated movement detection monitoring tool that could lead to reduced burden on clinicians and in-turn reduce pressure ulcer incidence rates. Ten healthy participants will perform video-recorded bed movements while weight distribution and interface pressures at bony prominences on the pelvis are recorded.
