AIM Recliner Cushion Pressure Mapping

The pressure mapping project is a long term effort to test durability and pressure redistribution changes of the AIM Recliner Cushion. Using the same test subject, same recliner, and the same recliner cushion each time, the goal is to map and record the results at the end of 30 minutes sitting in the recliner with the cushion versus sitting in the recliner without the cushion. The Tactilus Pressure Mapping System is used to generate and record both images and numerical data.
