A training system for the prevention of pressure sores has been designed to teach the paralytic person to relieve pressure intermittently from his ischium while sitting in a wheelchair. The system automates the training of wheelchair pushups, and conditions the person into exercising, based upon modified avoidance learning procedures. Results indicate that the paralytic person can be trained to pushup intermittently and efficiently using this system, thus reducing the incidence of pressure sore formation. Further long-term study is needed to assess the effectiveness of the training system as a preventative program for pressure sores.
一种预防压疮的训练系统已被设计出来，用于教导瘫痪者在坐在轮椅上时，间歇性地减轻坐骨处的压力。该系统使轮椅俯卧撑训练自动化，并基于改良的回避学习程序，使患者适应锻炼。结果表明，使用该系统可以训练瘫痪者间歇性且高效地进行俯卧撑，从而降低压疮形成的发生率。需要进一步进行长期研究，以评估该训练系统作为预防压疮方案的有效性。
