Evaluation of postural systems of the pelvis in a person with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy: results of the analysis of three cushions in the promotion of dynamic balance
Abstract:Introduction: Pressure ulcer cushions are specialised devices for pressure redistribution and management of tissue load and microclimate. They should maintain postural alignment, facilitate movement, create a stable base, relieve pain and be comfortable. They can be composed exclusively of one material such as foam, gel, air and fluid, or a combination of two or more of these materials. Research has focused on weight distribution and has neglected the dynamic behaviour of the cushion during everyday activities… Show more
