The use of a commercially available timer/microcalculator as a pressure relief training device for spinal cord injury patients is discussed. The device can be programmed to emit a high frequency tone at the end of a specified time interval, and then reset itself to repeat the cycle as long as is desired. The device's low cost, high reliability, convenient size and attractiveness to patients contribute to high potential as a training device. A rationale for using such a device soon after the onset of disability, rather than after pressure sores develop, is discussed.
本文讨论了使用一种市售的定时器/微型计算器作为脊髓损伤患者压力缓解训练设备的情况。该设备可以进行编程，以便在指定的时间间隔结束时发出高频音调，然后只要需要就自行重置以重复该循环。该设备成本低、可靠性高、尺寸方便且对患者有吸引力，使其作为训练设备具有很高的潜力。文中还讨论了在残疾发生后不久而非在压疮出现后使用这种设备的理论依据。
