Wheelchair Pressure Ulcer Prevention Using FBG Based Sensing Devices

Wheelchair Pressure Ulcer Prevention Using FBG Based Sensing Devices

In this work, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based sensing system for wheelchair pressure ulcer prevention was developed. Six FBGs were strategically positioned in a wheelchair to monitor the more prominent bone areas, namely scapulas (right (SR) and left (SL)), ischiatic zone (right (IR) and left (IL)...
