Decubitus ulcers, also known as pressure sores, is a major problem in health care, in particular for patients with spinal cord injuries. These patients cannot feel the discomfort that would urge healthy people to change their posture. We describe a system that uses a sensor mat to detect problematic postures and provides tactile feedback to the user. The results of our preliminary study with healthy subjects show that the tactile feedback is a viable option to spoken feedback. We envision the system being used for rehabilitation games, but also for everyday Decubitus ulcers prevention.
压疮，又称褥疮，是医疗保健中的一个主要问题，尤其是对脊髓损伤患者而言。这些患者无法感受到会促使健康人改变姿势的不适。我们描述了一种使用传感器垫来检测有问题姿势并向用户提供触觉反馈的系统。我们对健康受试者进行的初步研究结果表明，触觉反馈是一种可行的替代语音反馈的选择。我们设想该系统可用于康复游戏，但也可用于日常压疮预防。
