This study investigated the effectiveness of knee blocks as postural support devices in reducing shear force applied to the buttocks during the use of reclining wheelchairs. The frequent operation of reclining wheelchairs can cause forward sliding of the buttocks and thighs, leading to poor posture and an increased risk of pressure sores. To address these issues, knee block prototypes were tested on 12 healthy male adults. The shear force applied to the buttocks was measured under three conditions: without support, with a thigh belt, and with the knee blocks. The knee blocks significantly reduced shear force at the initial and return positions when compared to the thigh belt (p < 0.01). This indicates that knee blocks effectively prevent forward displacement of the pelvis and enhance postural stability during reclining. This study suggests that knee blocks, as an additional postural support device, offer a practical solution to improve the seating dynamics in reclining wheelchairs without requiring significant structural modifications. |
