Details
While lying in bed, pressure is the main reason why patients get a pressure-ulcer.
The aim of this EBNP was to get knowledge about how pressure differs during various positionings.
The probands where positioned to the left and to the right side by 30 degrees while lying in a bed. Each time, the pressure at the
sacral-bone-area was measured, as at this area a pressure-ulcer arises very often.
After that, pressure was assessed while probands where positioned by micro-positioning at left and right shoulder and pelvis.
