Magnitude and Duration of Pressure
Reswick, J.B. and J. Rogers, in Bedsore Biomechanics, R.M. Kenedi, J.M. Cowden, and J.T. Scales, Editors. 1976, University Park Press: Baltimore. p. 301-310.

Pressure Injury Aetiology
1. Cell damage from prolonged deformation (strain)
2. (Deformation-induced) ischaemia of soft tissues
3. A disruption in the equilibrium of the lymphatic system

WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW?And why some believe sitting through this 1 hour webinar will kill you…
#1 Pressure Myth: 32mmHg
• Myth: any load exceeding 32 mmHg is harmful.
• Study which measured the pressure within the capillary loop of a fingernail bed (Landis , 1930).
• Landis’ protocol did not include inducing occlusion.

How much normal loading causes ischemia?(remember ischemic damage has magnitude & duration factors)
• Studies report widely varying results– Lassen and Holstein, 1974
• occlusion pressure approximated diastolic pressures – Holloway, Daly, Kennedy, & Chimoskey, 1976)
• blood flow decreased at mean arterial pressure • occlusion reached around 120 mmHg.
– Ek, Gustavsson, & Lewis, 1987• ‘weak positive correlation’ between blood flow during loading and systolic blood pressure.
– Sangeorzan, Harrington, Wyss, Czerniecki, & Matsen, 1989) • 71 mmHg was needed to occlude flow over 'soft' sites • 42 mmHg occluded flow over 'hard' sites.
– Bennett, Kavner, Lee, & Trainor, 1979) • 100-120 mmHg necessary to occlude vessels in ‘low shear’ conditions • 60-80 mmHg needed in the presence of ‘high shear’
– Goosens, Zegers, van Dijke & Snijders, 1994• 85.5 mmHg necessary to induce ischemia in ‘no shear’ condition• 64 mmHg needed the presence of ‘high shear’
“50% Strain damages tissue”
• In bio-artificial muscle (petri-dish) loaded directly
• Strain of an individual cell (not bulk tissue strain)
• Instantaneous cell death at ~57% compressive strain
• Cells survive 50% strain for 1 hour
• Cells die after 4.75 hours at 35% strain
Gefen, A., B. van Nierop, D.L. Bader, and C.W. Oomens, Strain-time cell-death threshold for skeletal muscle in a tissue-engineered model system for deep tissue injury. J Biomech, 2008. 41(9): p. 2003-12.
What loads cause damage?
• Dinsdale 1974– normal pressure and normal pressure + friction to swine– 3 hours with normal pressures below 150 mmHg → no damage– 3 hours with Normal pressures at 45 mmHg + friction → tissue changes
• Daniel, Wheatley, and Priest 1985– 200 mmHg to troch of swine for 15 hours → no PrU– 500 mmHg for 4 hours → PrU
• Linder-Ganz and Gefen 2004– Rat hind limbs loaded up to 6 hours– 6 hours at 100 mmHg → damage, 2 hours at 300 mmHg → damage

Case Study Continued: What’s Inside?
Matrx Vi Roho HP
Case Study
• What story did the IPM tell?– Normal or perpendicular force over area (pressure)
• What story did the MRI tell?– Strain, displacement
• Different IPM, similar shape and strains• He’s not a great candidate for either cushion, but it took skin
inspection to figure that out.
Does interface pressure relate to what’s going on inside at all?

Case Study 2
• Very similar pressure maps, but very different buttocks shapes
• Very anterior presentation of the ischial tuberosity – all the tissue mass seems to be behind him
• Evidence of significant internal shear strains in the adipose

Interface Pressure vs. Buttocks Shape Why is the relationship so complicated?

Interface Pressure vs. Buttocks Shape Why is the relationship so complicated?
• Amount and distribution of tissue
• Type of tissue
• Quality / mechanics of tissue
• Shape and presentation of bone
Biomechanical Risk!
• Differences in cushion construction: materials and design
Low Biomechanical
Risk
High Biomechanical
Risk
Does this mean I shouldn’t use IPM?(hint… no)
• Contact area• Peak pressure index• Dispersion index• Symmetry• Answering the question: “is this cushion achieving the goal related to
pressure management?”• Ideal for feedback for subject posture, weight shifts• Pressure measurements alone are not
sufficient to alert the clinician to potential areas of tissue breakdown
Back to the confusing part… Can we measure what is going on inside?
• Internal stress and strain in vivo
– Strain measurement techniques in the works
– Stress measurements would be invasive
• Computational models of stress and strain
– Require validation
– Sensitive to assumptions
• Buttocks models and phantoms

HOW DIFFERENT SURFACES SUPPORT
THE BUTTOCKS
Choosing a cushion
You are trying to juggle many things:
• Comfort
• Stability
• Function
• Pressure Injury prevention
Cushion performance for pressure injury prevention:
• Microclimate management
• Durability
• Ability to correct or accommodate obliquity
• Shape Compliance
7/12/2018

Shape Compliance
• The ability of a cushion to support the buttocks with minimal buttocks deformation
• Can be considered a metric of cushion performance
• Currently no method available to evaluate shape compliance
Shape Compliance Pilot Study
• Goals
– To describe the deformation of highly atrophied seated buttocks tissue under load on different types of cushions in an effort to explain how different types of wheelchair cushions support the buttocks.
– To provide supporting data for an eventual shape compliance test

What’s it all mean?
• On all surfaces, load is supported somewhere, and tissue deforms (no cushion had perfect shape compliance everywhere)– Keep an eye on those regions with most deformation.– Remember the coccyx!
• Even with expert skills, it’s tough to seat people perfectly.– How do they seat themselves?– How much variation can they get away with?
• These are *highly* atrophied butts. Other butts are going to look different on these surfaces. Remember Biomechanical Risk.
• Posture! These were best efforts at neutral posture. But people slouch. And lean to the side. And cross their legs. etc

Summary
• Relationship between external load and internal response is complicated– Tissue amount, distribution, shape, quality
– Biomechanical risk
• Biomechanical risk – Exposure to loading
– Subject and injury specific factors that influence tissue deformation
• age, gender, smoking, BMI, etc.
• Cushions– Shape compliance
• Posture– Impacts tissue deformation
– Is not constant
