METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INERTIAL MEASUREMENT OF PRESSURE MANAGEMENT MOVEMENTS

Abstract:

Exemplary systems and methods associated with pressure management system for a user of a wheelchair. The systems and methods utilize an apparatus attached directly to the user for detecting and transmitting the inertial movement of the user. Various methods of generating pressure relief data and information associated with pressure points/pressure point relief of the user based on the actual movements of the user are disclosed.
