Filed:

Jul 28, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/628890

Inventors:

Joseph Bieganek - Littleton CO, US
Thomas Hetzel - Littleton CO, US
Joan Padgitt - Denver CO, US

International Classification:

A47C031/12, G01B005/14, G01B121/00

US Classification:

033512000, 005655900, 005658000, 073865900, 033561100, 033561200, 073823000

Abstract:

Clearance between a support contour of a seat cushion and an adjacent pelvic and proximal thigh anatomical portion of a person is evaluated with a clearance measurement device that deforms in response to force applied thereto. The clearance measurement device is located on the support contour at a predetermined location where the clearance is to be evaluated. A person sits on the cushion with the clearance measurement device. The clearance is related to the extent of deformation. Impression foam, a malleable putty-like substance, or a fluid cushion are examples of clearance measurement devices.
