Burn patients at risk: study aims to map pressure points to prevent painful sores

This study looks at how different positions and positioning devices affect pressure on areas like the heels, tailbone, elbows, and back of the head in burn patients. Researchers will use a special pressure-sensing mat to find which setups create the least pressure. The goal is to create simple guidelines that help prevent hospital-acquired pressure sores and improve patient comfort. About 80 adult burn patients will take part.
