The Effects of Balanced Seating Pressure on Pelvic Asymmetry: A Pilot Study

The Dasuit cushion is placed on a 40X40X40 wooden box as a chair, and the pressure seating mat is placed on the cushion. Participants were asked to sit on the cushion with hips, knees, and ankles positioned at approximately 90° angles at ease. A tablet was mounted in front of the chair at 30-40 cm from the eyes and at a downward viewing angle of 5-10 degrees. Participants were instructed to watch a 10-minute video to maintain a fixed gaze and minimize head movement. The patient was to sit on the cushion at ease for 1 minute to adjust to the cushion, then under-buttock pressure was recorded for 10 mins.

The patient was to sit on the cushion at ease for 1 minute to adjust to the cushion, then under-buttock pressure was recorded for 10 mins.

A 10 min washout period is in between the two interventions. The paitent is asked to walk around at ease.
