 note = {Physical therapists and occupational therapists are often involved in assessing the seating positions
needs of patients who have quadriplegia or hemiplegia.
One component of this process involves determining the appropriate use of wheelchair cushions and
pressure-relieving techniques to prevent pressure sores and the poor posture. Eleven healthy people
(average age 21.8 ± 2.5; 5males) participated in this study. The purpose of this study was to assess the
seating pressure in a wheelchair using of three types of cushions, and to assess the effects of hip fat
thickness on the distribution of seating pressure in a wheelchair. In addition, seating pressures under
bony prominences were assessed in the neutral posture and at a 30-degrees forward tilting posture. The
results of this study indicate that fat thickness at the hip correlates with the distribution of seating
pressures. Furthermore, the subject's centers of gravity were made move forward by the use of lumbar
support (p<O.05), the distribution of oressure expanded more with a Roho cushion than with the other
two cushions (a floor cushion and an ordinary cushion made from urethane). The findings of this
study support previous studies in that individual and continuous assessment is essential to providing
the best cushion and pressure-relief techniques for each patient.},
