The When of user engagement
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
One of the most important components in the design of new products is the inclusion of input from the end users and a large body of literature exists that describes how to identify and engage relevant stakeholders. Many ...
Wheelchair Cushion Degradation During Everyday Use
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
Portable Gage for Pressure Ulcer Detection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
A hand held instrument has been developed and tested that can detect subtle changes in the skin properties by measuring its biomechanical response.The portable and handheld design makes it suitable for the detection of ...
Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS): Measuring Manual Wheelchair Efficiency
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
The goal of this project was to produce a test device and
methodology capable of measuring the mechanical
efficiency of manual wheelchairs. The result would
provide an objective measure of wheelchair performance
that ...
Development of Handheld Erythema and Bruise Detectors
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007)
Outcomes of an Expert vs. Usual Care Intervention for Manual Wheelchairs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008)
Analysis of Temperature and Relative Humidity Variation in Wheelchair Cushion Monitoring Tests
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
Clinicians need to prescribe wheelchair equipment that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Relative humidity affects friction and skin's ability to withstand loads. Increased tissue temperature increases metabolic ...
Research Priorities: Seating and Positioning
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007)
The Wheeled Mobility State of the Science Conference, hosted by the mobilityRERC at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was a forum to identify and discuss important research topics. The Conference was configured around ...
Assistive Technology Development: the Juggling of Stakeholders
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-04-24)
Effect of model design, cushion construction, and interface pressure mats on interface pressure and immersion
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008)
Measuring interface pressure (IP) is one way to
characterize cushion performance in the clinic and laboratory.
This study explored how the presence of four commercially
available IP mats affected IP on and immersion of ...
