Abstract
Pressure ulcer is the one of the biggest problems for persons with disabilities. One of the cause is thought high contact pressure between a body and a mattress. However, it is difficult to control contact pressure of a body to prevent pressure ulcer. On the other hand, new production systems, known as rapid prototyping systems, are developed. Using the systems, we can made a complex three dimension surface. In this paper, we proposed new method to construct a surface which fits human body from body pressure distribution. And we demonstrated that the surface maintained the body pressure low.
