custom contoured cushion, pressure ulcer prevention, pressure distribution, CAD/CAM Abstract. In the rehabilitation engineering area, the pressure ulcer prevention is an important and healthy problem, especially for people with the spinal cord injured (SCI). This paper aim to develop a computer aided design and computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) method to manufacture custom cushions to prevent pressure ulcer. A pressure sensor mat is placed between the body and flat polyurethane (PU) foam to measure the pressure distribution at the buttock-cushion interface. Based on the load-deformation characteristics of the foam material, this pressure distribution is converted into the corresponding deformation contour of the foam. Finally, the deformation data was processed and edited using Rhino 3D surface modelling software to create the CAD model of the custom contoured cushion. Then, the CAD data are transferred into CNC milling machine to manufacture the custom contoured cushion.

Ulcer Prevention

A body pressure relief system was newly developed with optical pressure sensors for pressure ulcer prevention. Unlike a conventional alternating pressure air mattress (APAM), this system automatically regulates air flow into a body supporting mattress with adaptive inflation (or deflation) duration in response to the pressure level in order to reduce skin stress due to prolonged high pressures. The system continuously quantifies the body pressure distribution using time-of-flight (ToF) optical sensors. The proposed pressure sensor, a ToF optical sensor in the air-filled cell, measures changes in surface height of mattress when pressed under body weight, thereby indirectly indicating the interface pressure. Non-contact measurement of optical sensor usually improves the durability and repeatability of the system. The pressure sensor was successfully identified the 4 different-predefined postures, and quantitatively measured the body pressure distribution of them. Duty cycle of switches in solenoid valves was adjusted to 0–50% for pressure relief, which shows that the interface pressure was lower than 32 mmHg for pressure ulcer prevention.
