Measurement of pressure exerted by a support corset on its wearer, so that pressure sores and open wounds can be avoided, using a flexible pressure measurement pad

摘要

Pressure measurement recorder comprises a large number of single, ohmic force sensors (4, 6, 8) distributed evenly over the surface of a flexible circuit board (2) with connections (10) to sensors made via conductors within the circuit board that connect to a connection point (11). An Independent claim is made for a method for producing a support corset with the pressure distribution on the wearer measured using an adapted corset and modified according to the measurements.
