| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pressure ulcer is one of the biggest problems for an elderly person and a person with disabilities. In this study, we proposed the method to build three dimensional surface which fits the bumpy body surface. We measured the body pressure distribution between a human body and a contact surface of an assistive device. From the pressure distribution, we calculated suitable three dimensional surface shape. And we demonstrated the surface maintained the body pressure distribution evenly low, even though the material of the surface was hard.
