Development and validation of a mathematical model for calculation surface pressure using a barometric pressure sensor in active wheelchair cushions: a pilot study on a single air cell

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: value of 0.98, with an average deviation of -1.9 ± 3.7% and a maximum error of 10.7%. These results are promising and comparable to the measurement accuracy of established pressure mat systems, supporting the model's potential as a foundation for future active wheelchair cushion applications.
