| Research Abstract |
◇ The body pressure, EEG, skin temperature and subjective pains on using wheelchair with different cushions
Using two kinds of wheelchair cushions, the body pressure, EEG, skin temperature and subjective pains were measured during 60 minutes of maintaining the same potion.
And these parameters were examined for their correlation. The results are summarized as follows.
1) With a pressure distribution cushion, the buttock pressure was distributed around the femora. This relieved pain.
2) β power in EEG increased with the passage of time. The strength of power spectrum was the highest in the control group, the mouton cushion, followed by pressure was the highest in the control group, the mouton cushion, followed by pressure distribution cushion.
3) It is considered that the subjective pains caused by the wheelchair when using a pressure distribution cushion, is influenced not only by the body pressure but also by the size of the wheelchair's base area. The pain appeared the stronger at the sho

ulder and back cervix aria, the smaller the size of the base aria.
4) The buttock skin temperature was the highest with pressure distribution cushions, and increased 2.5゜C over a 60 minute period. Simultaneously, skin blood flow increased.
5) There was little difference in the strength of emotional pain among the three groups, which tended to increase gradually.
◇ The body pressure and subjective pains in the 30゜ and 90゜ lateral position.
In the 30゜ and 90゜ lateral position, the body pressure and subjective pain were measured over a 60 minute period while maintaining the same position. These parameters were examined for their correlation. The results are summarized as follows.
1) The body pressure on the body parts with each position was little changed with the passage of time.
2) In the control position, the body pressure was the highest at the greater trochanter and shoulder. And the sensory pain appeared in the same parts.
3) In 90゜ lateral position, the body pressure of greater trochanter was the highest, and the sensory pain was the strongest at under the breast and ear.
4) In 30゜ lateral position, the body pressure was the highest at the buttocks, the talus, and the shoulder blade, while sensory pain was similar. Less
