Wheelchair Seating Assessment Video. XSENSOR has worked with Pat Meeker Physical Therapist & Certified Wound Specialist to develop an introductory pressure imaging video for occupational therapists and clinicians working with wheelchair-bound clients. To learn how to conduct an effective seating assessment and select appropriate seating surfaces using pressure imaging, view the video on-line.
XSENSOR Nominated for Export Award. XSENSOR was recently selected as a finalist for the Export Award in the Alberta Business Awards of Distinction. This award is in addition to XSENSOR receiving the Calgary Chamber of Commerce RBC Small Business of the Year Award in October 2006. XSENSOR continues to build a world-class organization and we acknowledge the continued support of our staff, partners and customers in making this happen.

 File Compare
The File Compare tool allows clinicians to compare pressure imaging files. This is a valuable tool to compare the efficacy of a variety of potential seating surfaces for a client. By creating a separate file for each of the tested seating surfaces (e.g. air cushion vs. viscous fluid cushion), the clinician can then view and compare up to four different pressure imaging files at the same time. This allows the clinician to make comparisons as to how well each of the surfaces is supporting and off-loading high pressure areas.
Asymmetry
A key aspect of interpreting pressure imaging data from a seating assessment is to look for asymmetry (the absence of symmetry) in a client’s current seating posture. When looking for asymmetry, focus on the ischial tuberosities and the greater trochanters. The image at right shows an imbalance in seated posture and the left IT is showing excess.
