Abstract:
A pressure optimization surface (10) is disclosed having a modifiable support surface (9) including a plurality of zones (46, 48, 50, 52) and an interface sensor (15) having a plurality of zones (96, 98, 100, 102) adjacent to and associated with the plurality of zones (46, 48, 50, 52) of modifiable support surface (9) and a controller (18). The sensor zones (96, 98, 100, 102) sense forces between the surface (9) and a patient (16) thereon and the controller (18) modifies the zones (46, 48, 50, 52) of surface (9) to reduce the force detected in each sensor zone (96, 98, 100, 102).
