Abstract

The occurrence and management of Pressure Ulcers remain a major issue for patients with reduced mobility and neurosensory loss despite significant improvement in the prevention methods. These injuries are caused by biological cascades leading from a given mechanical loading state in tissues to irreversible tissue damage. Estimating the internal mechanical conditions within loaded soft tissues has the potential of improving the management and prevention of PU. Several Finite Element models of the buttock have therefore been proposed based on either MRI or CT-Scan data. However, because of the limited availability of MRI or CT-Scan systems and of the long segmentation time, all studies in the literature include the data of only one individual. Yet the inter-individual variability can’t be overlooked when dealing with patient specific estimation of internal tissue loading. As an alternative, this contribution focuses on the combined use of low-dose biplanar X-ray images, B-mode ultrasound images and optical scanner acquisitions in a non-weight-bearing sitting posture for the fast generation of patient-specific FE models of the buttock. Model calibration was performed based on Ischial Tuberosity sagging. Model evaluation was performed by comparing the simulated contact pressure with experimental observations on a population of 6 healthy subjects. Analysis of the models confirmed the high inter-individual variability of soft tissue response (maximum Green Lagrange shear strains of 213 ± 101% in the muscle). This methodology opens the way for investigating inter-individual factors influencing the soft tissue response during sitting and for providing tools to assess PU risk.
