| description | . A paradigm shift in health system did intensify the need for research on wearable
electronics. There are numerous reasons that could lead to skin ulcers. The most common are
lesion due to constant pressure, incontinence control, excessive humidity and postural changes.
Over the years, there have been numerous interventions ranging from specific skin treatment,
introducing prevention programs as well as to mechanical intervention. On the rise in such
clinical rehabilitation program is the use of electrical stimulation (ES) at a therapeutic level,
wound care and muscle function restoration. This paper presents a concept development and
implementation process of a new pressure ulcer intervention system which can be used for both
chairbound and bedridden patients. The concept here is to integrate the use of electrical
stimulation, interface pressure mapping and redistribution with antimicrobial protection not only
to act as therapeutic but at the same time as a means of prevention of pressure ulcers by
improving muscle tone and decreasing atrophy among immobilized subjects. |
