This study was designed to analyze a type of current transfer/transport system within healthcare settings commonly used for spinal cord injury patients. Twenty-three different slings with varying type, material, and features were analyzed in hopes to identify at-risk areas for skin integrity threats such as pressure ulcers. Population samples included healthy volunteers as well as SCI patients from the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital. High resolution pressure interface mapping was utilized to directly measure the interface pressures between the patient and sling interface. The overall results were to provide relevant feedback on the systems used and to suggest a particular type of sling that could reduce and possibly minimize skin integrity threats as well as extend safe patient handling guidelines with sling use. - Observed the data collection of healthy volunteers- Participated in data collection of SCI patients from the SCI/D unit of the JAHVH- Developed MATLAB scripts for data inputs and analyses between slings and patients- Helped analyze the data put into MATLAB for suggestions of use and type
