Pressure mapping or pressure mapping technology is a basic diagnostic, educational and innovative tool that we use to reduce the risk of defects and address the posture of sitting in clients after spinal cord injury. Pressure mapping is simply the measurement and visual reporting of the pressure between two contact surfaces, in wheelchair users most often between the human body and a support surface such as a seat / seat cushion or mattress.

Promoting the right seat
The so-called The xsensor is used to diagnose the pressure distribution when sitting in a wheelchair, car, handbike and other sports equipment in which the client is sitting. The device is used not only for diagnostics, but also for education in the field of posture, pressure loading and the mode of relief techniques. These are essential in the field of prevention and are often overlooked by the client. Pressure mapping is used several times a day as part of the above-mentioned activities.
They said about the project
„Bylo pro mě důležité, že jsme mohli s měřící podložkou změřit tlak, když sedím na vozíku. My right ass still hurt more than my left, and thanks to this aid, we found out that I had a badly inflated seat. Every year, to be sure, I have the seat pressure measured again, because it always changes over time. Improper sitting can cause both back and leg pain, and long-term loading of only part of the butt can relatively easily cause pressure ulcers. Tím, že bolest cítím až po nějaké době, je prevence nesmírně důležitá, " říká Nina.
