Patient-specific finite element model of the buttocks for pressure ulcer prevention - linear versus non-linear modelling

Résumé

Currently available techniques and/or protocols designed to prevent pressure sore formation in persons with spinal cord injury and wheelchair users are mainly based on the improvement of the skin/support interface and on postural and behavioural education. These techniques, however, seem to lack efficiency as the prevalence and incidence of pressure sores still remains very high. This study outlines a methodology aiming at the definition of an individual and personalised pressure ulcer risk assessment scale based on patient-specific Finite Element modelling of the buttocks.
