Regarding pressure mapping, whether it is practical or not, I question how reliable the results are at any rate. A given pressure mapping session can only yield results for the specific set of circumstances at the time of the mapping. It seems there are a number of variables that could affect any mapping session, i.e. different positioning in the chair, different clothing, changes in weight, so how can one rely on the results of a single mapping session or even multiple mapping sessions?

Not as deep as the one I had a few months ago, but wider. It’s maybe 1 ½ by ¾ but it looks a lot more like a scrape. It’s not real deep, but bleeds when I take the dressing off. It’s not on the regular (butt) bed sore area, it’s in the crease of my butt/thigh. Anyone get a sore there? I just do not see how sitting gets pressure there… Thanks, Greg _____ Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's <http://citysbest.aol.com?ncid=aolacg00050000000102> Best 2008.
