Characterization of Sitting Postures in Healthy Subjects

University Hospital, Grenoble30 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to assess the intra and inter-subjects variability of the pressure measurement cartography in healthy and well and able volunteers, sitting on a rigid base during two hours.

* The purpose of this study is to understand the formation of pressure sore, to improve the care of paraplegic patients. * This pilot study is going to help to establish a model in healthy volunteers in the prevention of pressure sores.

Orthotest CEDEVICE

Orthotest CE is a rigid base mapping system composed by 1024 pressure transducers uniformly distributed in a 35x35 cm surface. Orthotest CE is a product manufactured by Vista-Medical. The patient sit on the rigid base during 2 hours to record the pressure and all the data needed for the pilot study. Pressure measurement
