Applying Modeled Hemi-Ellipsoids to the Study of Pressure Distribution in Normal and Paraplegic Seated Subjects

The three goals of this research were to investigate how normal subjects move while seated, how paraplegic patients move while seated, and whether seated movements can be modeled using a hemi-ellipsoid shape. Pressure readings were recorded at 11 Hz using a 36 by 36 sensor pressure map by XSENSOR. S...
