Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a new capacitive force sensor that can measure yaw torque, normal force, and shear forces simultaneously to better understand pressure ulcers and select suitable mattresses and cushions.
- Two types of sensors were designed using silicone gel and electrodes, with specific force/torque measurement ranges established, and their performance evaluated by comparing measured values to theoretical standards.
- Results showed good repeatability and low error rates in the sensor's measurements, indicating its potential effectiveness in assessing forces that impact skin pressure and contribute to pressure ulcer development.
