Analysis of variance was used to test the effects of five different seats on pressure gradients and their performance in prolonged sitting and driving. Buttocks and back support pressure history were accessed with the Tekscan sensor pressure measurement system during prolonged sitting and driving. Differences on seat pressure effects on healthy subjects, between subject pressure effects and the performance of the new seat with respect to maximum and mean pressures were also investigated. In all tests regarding static and dynamic pressure distribution, prolonged sitting or prolonged driving, the new seating system performed significantly better than other foam or air based seats resulting in considerable reduction of the maximum pressure. The new modular air-cushion seat with its dynamic characteristics enhances wheelchair-and car driving related comfort. 2009 artículo científico 1981-6324 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=93012708012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=930 Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity application/pdf Universidade Iguaçu Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.3 |
