Wheelchair Tilt-in-Space and Recline Functions: Influence on Sitting Interface Pressure and Ischial Blood Flow in an Elderly Population

Figure 7

Bar and box plot of normalised blood flow under the left ischial tuberosity for five tilt angles (T; 5°, 15°, 25°, 35°, and 45°) in response to three recline angles (R; 5°, 15°, and 30°). The first bar on the left represents the upright reference posture (5°T; 5°R). Only neighbouring significance is highlighted in the bar chart. All significant position pairings are illustrated in the significance table (top right). Level of significance ( p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001).
