This study examined the pressure-reducing effects of 13 different heel-protecting devices. A group of 40 elderly patients (mean age 82 years, range 71-94) admitted to the Geriatric Department of the University Hospitals in Leuven, Belgium participated in this study. The pressures were registered by means of a sensitive computerized diagnostic system, which measured vertical forces. An ordinary head pillow was shown to be the most effective pressure-reducing device, followed by heel protectors based on siliconized hollow fibers.
本研究检测了13种不同足跟保护装置的减压效果。一组40名老年患者（平均年龄82岁，范围71 - 94岁）入住比利时鲁汶大学医院老年科，参与了本研究。压力通过一个敏感的计算机诊断系统进行记录，该系统测量垂直力。结果显示，一个普通的头枕是最有效的减压装置，其次是基于硅化中空纤维的足跟保护器。
