Please don't think of me as a bad person simply because I have paid
attention and observed so many things about spinal cord injury research and
breakthroughs and always have to question whether it is real or not. I
think it is a little bit of both.

I had mapping done 18 years ago & last summer. I think any dealer that
is selling cushions should have to pressure map you.
Why the do not do it? Because 90% cushions would show bad pressure
areas. Dealers do not want customers to see that.

I think Steve hit the nail on the head. I’ll add my two cents. I’m a para,
31-years-post injury. “IF” your insurance pays
for pressure mapping it is a good tool to compare how you “map” (pressure) on
different cushions. If you are able to do
this, also ask to look at the “map” whi
Glenn,
I have had pressure mapping done several times when it was offered at no
cost or covered by my insurance, but I seriously question its value.
First, the mapping results are only applicable to the exact conditions when
the mapping occurred, including your relative position (front, back, lef
Hello,
Has anyone on the site been pressure mapped? If so do you think that it
helped in anyway?
With the price of some items coming out at a lower price, does anyone have
a unit that they purchase for home use?
Thanks

Other than pressure mapping has anyone ever used wedges, holes cut in foam
pad or a wood seat pan?
Interested in hearing your experiences.

CMS is getting tough on those who are not certified from performing Pressure
Mapping and getting
paid for it. Make sure the company or person who is performing the
evaluation is certified.

You are right Steve, to a certain extent. Mapping senses both pressure and
heat and you may be tested over an hour or more to determine a base level,
with tolerances. The sensing pad is like a large checkerboard with a lot more
squares with sensors. Ask anyone who has been map'd if it tr

I know that in any profession you have some people that just excel in their
endeavors more than their peers. While others are happy with getting a
paycheck.
So I poised Lori's question to non other than Marcie Roth of SCI for her
input. I'll advise you all of her answer.
