Exploring the effects of lateral pressure to the soft tissue of the buttocks during seating to preserve tissue perfusion
Despite a rudimentary prototype device design, and that participants each placed their own oximetry sensors, results support the application of lateral pressure as a method to maintain transcutaneous gas tensions. Further work should be carried out on a larger sample to consolidate these findings.
