Dashed lines represent the limits of agreement (±1.96 SD), full line the mean difference between estimated and measured EE. The thin line represents the linear correlation plot of the individual scatter plots and R 2 -value ( R 2 ) the Pearson coefficient of determination of individual scatter plots to this linear correlation line.

Article Snippet: Stinson, Ferguson , Accelerometery and seated interface pressures , Magnitude of movement , Two technology systems were used in these studies to explore repositioning. The XSensor X3 interface pressure mapping system comprises a thin, flexible pressure sensing mat and a hand held computer that graphically displays the distribution of interface pressure. In use, the sensing mat is placed on the seating surface between the service user and the seating surface and provides a continuous measurement of interface pressures at the seating interface in visual, graphical and numerical outputs yielded in mm Hg. The Activpal3 is a triaxial activity monitor that uses piezoelectric accelerometers to measure movement in three perpendicular axes In the current application, however, a novel algorithm was developed to enable the accelerometer to be fixed to the sternum and record angle of trunk tilt during static and dynamic periods of upper body movement. The technology is fixed to the body plane using hydrogel PalStickies. , — , Both studies illustrated that most individuals did not adhere to the frequency or magnitude of movements currently recommended to redistribute seating interface pressures. When repositioning was performed it was ineffective in reducing seated pressures..
